Gone
★N Sync Lyrics

There's a thousand words that I could say
I have countless things that I wish I could say to make you come back to me.

Oh, seems so long ago you walked away
It feels like forever since you left me on my own.

Left me alone
You abandoned me when I needed you the most.

I remember what you said to me
I can still recall the words you uttered before you left.

You were acting so strange
You were behaving in a peculiar way, which made me uneasy.

and maybe I was too blind to see
Perhaps I was too foolish to realize that you needed a change.

That you needed a change
You wanted something different, something new, and you couldn't find that with me.

Was it something I said
Did I say something to make you want to leave, something I am not aware of?

To make you turn away?
Did I do something that pushed you away and made you run from me?

To make you walk out and leave me cold
I must have hurt you badly for you to leave me behind, all alone and shivering.

If I could just find a way
I wish I could find a solution that would bring you back into my life.

To make it so that you were right here
If only I could do something that would make you stand beside me once more.

But right now..
As of now, we're apart, and there's nothing I can do to change that reality.

I've been sitting here
I've been in the same spot since you left, trying to make sense of what happened.

Can't get you off my mind
You occupy my thoughts every second of every day, and I can't escape it.

I've tried my best to be a man and be strong
I attempted to cope with your absence by being tough and resilient.

I've drove myself insane
My thoughts have driven me crazy, and I can't seem to escape them.

Wishing I could touch your face
I long to feel your warmth and touch your cheek once more.

But the truth remains..
Despite my efforts, I am aware of the stark reality that you are gone.

You're gone..
You're no longer here with me, and it hurts me to my core.

Baby you're gone
My significant other is no longer present, and it's tearing me apart.

Girl you're gone, baby girl, you're gone..
My girl is away, and I'm struggling to come to terms with it.

I don't wanna make excuses, baby
I don't want to justify anything or provide reasons for why things ended this way.

Won't change the fact that you're gone
Regardless of what I do, I can't bring you back into my life and change what has already happened.

But if there's something that I could do
If there's anything I can do to fix things or make amends, I'll do whatever it takes.

Won't you please let me know?
Could you please inform me of what needs to be accomplished to bring us back together again?

Time is passing so slowly now
I find myself staring at the clock watching seconds tick away, and time seems to drag.

Guess that's my life without you
This is the life I'm forced to live without you by my side.

and maybe I could change my every day
Perhaps if I had the chance, I could change myself into someone who better suits your love and affection.

But baby I don't want to
I'd rather not alter who I am to make you happy, but I would if I had to.

So I'll just hang around
I'll stay put and keep waiting for your arrival, hoping that you'll walk back into my life.

and find some things to do
While I'm waiting for you, I'll find hobbies and activities to pass the time.

To take my mind off missing you
These activities will provide me with something to do to keep my mind off of missing you.

and I know in my heart
In my heart of hearts, I'm convinced that you have feelings for me too.

You can't say that you don't love me too
I know that your feelings for me are still present, and you can't deny that.

Please say you do
Please express how you feel, so that we can work through things as a couple.

Oh what'll I do
What am I supposed to do now that you're gone?

If I can't be with you
Without you by my side, what's the point of living?

Tell me where will I turn to
If I can't be with you, where can I go for consolation or support?

Baby where will I be
I wonder where I'll end up without you, and it scares me.

We are apart
We're no longer together, and it feels as if we're miles away from each other.

Am I still in your heart?
Do you still love me and think about me, the way that I think about you?

Baby why don't you see?
Why can't you understand how much I still love you and want you back?

That I need you here with me
I need you more than ever to be with me, and I can't function without you.

Ohhh...
My heart is breaking, and I can't seem to fix it without you by my side.
