When the Feeling Goes Away
The Movement Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Have you ever loved someone so bad it hurt
Not when they seem so far away from your life and all of this world
Was it that someone who brought you away
Was she a little baby girl your perfect number ten
How did you meet her, how did you know
All of the troubles that you face and the distance you would go
Just to please her and ease her pain
No matter how hard you try things won't ever be the same
And its the hardest thing I've ever had to do
And its the hardest thing I've ever had to say
When the feeling goes away
When the feeling goes away
And I cant remember the last time we touched
But I know it was right as rain and I couldn't get enough
How did we get here and where we gonna go
Now that we seem so far away from the love we used to show
And It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
And it's the hardest thing I've ever had to say
When the feeling goes away
When the feeling goes away
And now its time to turn the page
Another day come and gone a way to waste
And now we face the truest test of our faith
And I don't believe I don't believe it
And now its time to turn the page
Another day come and gone a way to waste
And now we face the truest test of our faith
And I don't believe I don't believe it
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to do
And it's the hardest thing I've ever had to say
When the feeling goes away
When the feeling goes away
When the feeling goes away




When the feeling goes away
When the feeling goes away
