Lyrics for When You're Gone

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 When you walk away, I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now? 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 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 When you walk away, I count the steps that you take Do you see how much I need you right now? 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 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 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
