Ric gets reflective in “When I’m Done” as it digs into the idea of legacy and how we want to be remembered. He looks at love as something bigger than just being physically present, urging people to appreciate what they have right now. It’s honest, raw, a bit vulnerable; full of emotional weight and lyrical depth.

[Verse 1]
If you love me let me know
If you need me, tell me more
If you want me baby then let it show
If you love me hold me close and say you'd never let me go
Tell me these things baby before I'm gone (before I leave)
Tell me how I'm sweet
And make me to believe it
Take me hand and dance with me (before I leave)
Tell me I'm the best, that I'm the best you've ever had
Tell me these things baby before I'm gone (when I'm gone)
[Chorus]
How will I know that you love me so (when I'm gone)
I need to know that you let it show (when I'm gone)
Would I believe that you cared for me (when I'm gone)
I wanna leave with the memory (when I'm gone)
How will I know that you love me so (when I'm gone)
I need to know that you let it show (when I'm gone)
Would I believe that you cared for me (when I'm gone)
I wanna leave with the memory
[Verse 2]
I will always tell you that I love you
I am always gonna let you know
And if the world is crashing on you
Know that I'm never gonna leave your side (never gonna leave you)
I will always tell you that I gat you
I will always be a helping hand
When you need a friend I'd be there for you
I'm gonna be standing right by your side
[Chorus]
When I'm gone
How will I know that you love me so
When I'm gone
I need to know that you let it show
When I'm gone
Would I believe that you cared for me
When I'm gone
I wanna leave with the memory
[Outro]
If life was made, so I become
Then it be so
But if the world would end, before
I'm done
Then let it be so
If morning comes, and life is lost
I know I'd be okay
'Cause I've seen it all
And I've paid the cost
So let it be so
