Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Since you've been gone
Since you've been gone, baby
I haven't found my way back into your arms
You broke my heart
Ever since you went so far
And now I find myself here without you
I know my heart won't go on
So tell me how,
How can I live without you
How can I face another day
Another day I'm lonely,
Another day I'm lonely
And I miss you, I miss you
I'm gonna miss you baby, I'm gonna miss you
So tell me how
How can I live without you
How can I face another day
Another day I'm lonely
Another day I'm lonely
I miss you, I miss you




I'm gonna miss you baby,
I'm gonna miss you
