You'll Miss Me When I'm Not Around Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I shot myself yesterday
Got to Heaven anyway
Think I might regret it now
Tied my feet to rocks and drowned

[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't bleed, then you don't die
Cross my heart and hope to fly
If you like it, then you'll make it out alive
If they could see me now, smiling six feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
You'll miss me when I'm not around

[Verse 2]
Hurt myself again today
Doesn't matter anyway
(You'll miss me when I'm gone)
I'll make it to Heaven even if the gods don't want me in
Have to clean the cleats I'm in to find

[Chorus]
Last call, last call
(You'll miss me when I'm not around)
Last call, last call
(You'll miss me when I'm not around)
Promise if I make it, I'll kiss you good night
(I'll see you underground)
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down
Last call
(You'll miss me when I'm not around)
Last call
(You'll miss me when I'm not around)
Promise if I make it, I'll kiss you good night
(I'll see you underground)
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down

[Outro]
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down

[Verse 1]
I shot myself yesterday
Got to Heaven anyway
Think I might regret it now
Tied my feet to rocks and drowned

[Pre-Chorus]
If you don't bleed, then you don't die
Cross my heart and hope to fly
If you like it, then you'll make it out alive
If they could see me now, smiling six feet underground
I'll tie my feet to rocks and drown
You'll miss me when I'm not around

[Verse 2]
Hurt myself again today
Doesn't matter anyway
(You'll miss me when I'm gone)
I'll make it to Heaven even if the gods don't want me in
Have to clean the cleats I'm in to find

[Outro]
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down
You'll miss me when I'm down

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
