You're Gone

I said, "Hello I think I'm broken."

And though I was only jokin'

It took me by surprise when you agreed.

I was tryin to be clever

But for the life of me I never

Would have guessed how far the simple truth would lead.

You knew all my lines. You knew all my tricks.

You knew how to heal that pain no medicine could fix.

And I bless the day I met you.

And I thank God that he let you

Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.

And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together.

And the bad news is you're gone.

Looking back it's still surprising

I was sinking, you were rising.

With a look you caught me in mid-air.

Now I know God has his reasons.

But sometimes it's hard to see them.

I awake and find that you're not there.

You found hope in hopeless.

You made crazy sane.

You became the missing link that helped me break my chains.

And I bless the day I met you.

And I thank God that he let you

Lay beside me for a moment that lives on.

And the good news is I'm better for the time we spent together.

And the bad news is you're gone.
