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.

You never know how good you have it

Oh, oh

Until you're staring at a picture of the only girl that matters

Huh, uh

I know what we're supposed to do

It's hard for me to let go of you

So I'm just trying to hold on

Hold on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

So I'm just trying to hold on

I need to learn how to cope without you

I'm trying to pretend myself, but I don't really know how to

Yeah

Oh, I know what we're supposed to do

Oh, but I hate the thought of losing you

So I'm just trying to hold on

Hold on

I don't wanna know what it’s like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

So I'm just trying to hold on

Starting to feel like you don't need me

Wanna believe it's all for the better

It's getting real, I'm missing you deeply

So I'm just trying to hold on

Starting to feel like you don't need me

Wanna believe it's all for the better

It's getting real, I'm missing you deeply

So I'm just trying to hold on

Hold on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

So I'm just trying to hold on

I'm just trying to move on
