How Could You Be Gone

I keep staring at the clock, stumbling round the house in shock

I don't know what I feel, I can't believe that this is real

I don't know what to wear, I don't know who will be there

I wanna call ya, I wanna cry, I don't wanna say goodbye

Turn the key, make the drive, I park and watch the cars arrive

Friends I never knew you had, it's moving slow, it's moving fast

I walk by your photograph, I hear your voice, I hear your laugh

Everybody's dressed in black, I still think you're coming back

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

I'm sitting in a plastic chair, the preacher's words hang in the air

A cross of roses pink and white, slideshow pictures of your life

Children run across the lawn, they don't understand you're gone

I'm looking for you in the clouds, I'm looking for you in the crowd

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

We all hang our heads to pray, the preacher tells us what to say

I don't know what I believe, I just know I have to leave

I walk alone back to my car, I go before the goodbyes start

I have always been this way, you were the only one who could make me stay

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

How could you be gone

How could you be gone
