When You’re Gone
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Stepping out on a ledge, meet me halfway
Let your guard, let it down, I won't run away
When you're gone, everything seems a little bit off
I've got to know, even though I've never felt so unprepared
I don't want to let this thing go
That's fine, if you're scared
I'd rather get carried away than never know
(I hate how I handle myself when you're gone)
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
Hear me out, hear me out, listen closely
Without a doubt, out a doubt you're the only one
I want, want to see more than anyone else
But you need time to think and forget how you felt before
Now every new thought complicates
What I said was more
Than what you expected because I was never sure
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
Close my eyes so I can see again, see again
I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again
Close my eyes so I can see again, see again
I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
Can't face that I'm getting older
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Can't face that I'm getting older
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)
Fairweather friends that were there all along
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)
I hate how I handle myself when you're gone
(Close my eyes so I can see again, see again)
Can't face that I'm getting older
(I don't know why, why I can breathe again, breathe again)
Fairweather friends that were there all along
Don't carry the weight that you shoulder
