Lyrics of When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne

verse

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

pre-chorus

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 okay
I miss you

verse

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

pre-chorus

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
And when you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

bridge

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

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
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you, mmm
Writer(s): Avril Ramona Lavigne, Butch Walker
