Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I tried to put my thoughts in a song
But all I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
I still can't believe that you'd really leave me
What did I do was so wrong
There's just too many unanswered questions
And I still can't believe you're gone
And I'm alone
And I'm still livin'
I don't like it
But I'll take it till I'm strong
All I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
[ guitar ]
You're gone
And I'm alone
And I'm still livin'
I don't like it
But I'll take it till I'm strong
All I can hear myself singin' is
I still can't believe you're gone
