Now You're Gone
Everyday Sunday Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me how we let this go
I hate goodbyes, God knows I've tried
I've been staring at this phone
I just thought I'd let you know
All these things I did not show you
I've just got to let you know
Now you're gone, I'm all alone
And nothing here is right
I can't go another day
Without you in my life
God knows I'm hurting from keeping it inside
Right now I'm praying that healing comes in time
I wish that I could think of the words to say
To make this feeling go away
But you know that until then I'll be waiting here for you
I just thought I'd let you know
That I still care
I've just got to let you know
