When you’re gone

“When You’re Gone”

I always needed time on my own
I never thought I’d need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I’m alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]
When you’re gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you’re gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you’re gone
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

I’ve never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do

When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now

[Chorus]

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I’d do, I’d give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[Chorus]

This is one of my favorite songs from Avril.  Whenever I hear this and watch it’s video, it makes me think how hard it is to lose someone who’s been with you for a long time, and the one who made you of what you are now.  Maybe Tom Cruise’ famous line “you complete me” is true.  There are certain part of you change when you’re with that person.  And sometimes, you change not because that person told you to change or forced you to change, but you change because you want to.

Then after that life changing, making you a better person.. comes the time that that person will leave you for some reasons you don’t understand and you don’t want to understand.

But is there anything you can do about it?  To get that person back in your life?

Maybe there is still chance for you to get back together and continue what you had before.  But knowing that there is no chance of getting back no matter how hard you try, will totally make you incomplete at the moment.  But life must still go on..  so you have no other way but forward, and move on (like what they always say).
