When You're Gone
KIDZ BOP Kids Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I never thought I need you there when I cry
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up all the time
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay, I miss you
I've never felt this way before, oh no
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the things you left, they lie on the floor, oh no
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay, I miss you
We were made for each other
Out here forever, I know we were, yeah, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
The words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay, I miss you
"When You're Gone" by KIDZ BOP Kids is a song about missing someone dearly after they leave. The lyrics express the feeling of loneliness and emptiness that comes with the absence of that person. The singer reflects on the fact that they never thought they needed the person there when they cry, but now that they're gone, the singer wishes they were there. The days without them feel like years, and even the bed where they used to lie is a constant reminder of their absence. Despite wishing the person was still there, the singer is counting the steps that they take as they walk away, indicating a sense of longing for their return.
The chorus of the song is particularly impactful as it highlights just how much the singer misses the person. The pieces of their heart are missing them, the face they came to know is missing, and the words they need to hear to get through the day are missing. It's clear that the person's presence is something the singer deeply desires. The bridge of the song sees the singer expressing that they were made for each other and that they belong together. It's this realization that intensifies the feelings of loneliness upon the other person's departure. The song ends with the singer once again emphasizing just how much they miss the person.

I always needed time on my own
I used to like to be alone a lot
I never thought I need you there when I cry
I didn't think I would need you to comfort me when I'm sad
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
Time seems to move slowly when I'm by myself
And the bed where you lie is made up all the time
I keep the bed clean even though you're not here
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
I look at how far you've gone and how much I'll miss you
Do you see how much I need you right now?
I hope you realize how much I need you in my life
The pieces of my heart are missing you
My heart feels incomplete without you
The face I came to know is missing too
I miss your face and the way you look at me
The words I need to hear
The things you say to me that make me feel okay
To always get me through the day
To help me through difficult times
And make it okay, I miss you
I miss you, and your presence would make things better
Everything that I do reminds me of you
I think about you all the time, and everything reminds me of you
And the things you left, they lie on the floor, oh no
Your things are scattered all over, and it makes me miss you more
And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do
Your scent reminds me of you, and I miss your quirks and habits
We were made for each other
We're meant to be together and there's no doubt about that
Out here forever, I know we were, yeah, yeah
Our love is eternal and will last forever
All I ever wanted was for you to know
I just want you to understand how much you mean to me
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I would do anything for you and put my everything into our relationship
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me
I miss you so much that it's hard to function without you by my side
