Whwn You're Gone

I wake up to a silent room

Your shadow’s fading way too soon

Coffee cold, the day feels wrong

Every minute feels too long

I hear your laugh in passing cars

In every crowded room and bar

I try to run, but you remain

Dancing softly in my pain

I thought our love was built to last

Now I’m living in the past

Your goodbye still on my skin

Like a scar I’m wearing in

When you’re gone, the world slows down

Every smile feels upside down

I pretend that I’m okay

But your memory won’t fade away

When you’re gone, I lose my ground

Love was all I had till now

Maybe time will teach my heart

How to live with us apart

I’ll forgive but not forget

All the love I couldn’t save

I thought our love was built to last

Now I’m living in the past

Your goodbye still on my skin

Like a scar I’m wearing in

When you’re gone, the world slows down

Every smile feels upside down

I pretend that I’m okay

But your memory won’t fade away

When you’re gone, I lose my ground

Love was all I had till now

When you’re gone, the world slows down

Every smile feels upside down

I pretend that I’m okay

But your memory won’t fade away

When you’re gone, I lose my ground

Love was all I had till now

Maybe time will teach my heart

How to live with us apart

I’ll forgive but not forget

All the love I couldn’t save

When you’re gone, I breathe alone

Learning how to let you go
