Lyrics

[Verse 1]

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

[PreChorus]

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 missin' you

When you're gone, the face I came to know is missin', too

When you're gone, all the words I need to hear

To always get me through the day

And make it okay, I miss you

[Verse 2]

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

[PreChorus]

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 missin' you

And when you're gone, the face I came to know is missin', too

And when you're gone, all 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'd do, I'd 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 missin' you

When you're gone, the face I came to know is missin', too

Oh, when you're gone, all the words I need to hear

Will always get me through the day

And make it okay, I miss you
