(When you are gone) When you are gone there's no fun with the crowd I find myself crying even crying out loud (crying out loud) I could find fun but I'd still be alone 'Cause my world simply stands still when you are gone When you are gone my heart knows it well (knows it well) And it just won't believe these stories I tell Just can't get used (can't get used) to this being alone And there's nothing to live for when you are gone When you are gone my heart knows it well (knows it well) And it just won't believe all these stories I tell Just can't get used (can't get used) to this being alone And there's nothing to live for when you are gone (When you are gone)
