Now You're Gone
Svmmerdose Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Those hands used to be the hands that I hold when I’m all alone
& now you’re gone
I can’t hold your hand anymore
I don’t prepare myself before you leave me at home
I know you’re still close
But I can’t hear your voice
I can’t hold your hand anymore
I can’t hold your hand anymore

I can’t hold your hand, I can’t hold your hand anymore
Sorry, what if I say sorry
Now that you can’t call me, call me
Maybe I wasn’t there when you left me
There’s something I should’ve said
I’ve been holding myself back
Even if I scream with my anger
I know it will never get better

Even if I talk to my mother
You will not come back any later
