This song is about a boy and a girl having second guesses about their relationship, and how they feel the pain when they are lost without each other.
[Verse 1: Travis Garland]
I swear we both used to say
That we would never walk away
Now when I see your face
It's like you never felt the same
Explain to me
[Chorus: JoJo & Travis Garland]
How are you okay
When I can't be around you?
Don't you feel the pain
That I feel without you?
'Cause I have to pretend
That you don't make a difference
It's the lie that I'm living in
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
[Verse 2: JoJo]
Baby, my worst mistake
Was letting you ever get away, away from me
And I couldn't see everything
When it was right there in my face
And baby, it's killing me
[Chorus: JoJo & Travis Garland]
How are you okay
When I can't be around you?
Don't you feel the pain
That I feel without you?
'Cause I have to pretend
That you don't make a difference
It's the lie that I'm living in
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
[Bridge: Travis Garland, JoJo & Both]
I heard them say that time heals everything
Every second without you, I'm going insane
Ain't nothing in the world can help me now
Help me now, oooh
I told myself that today I'm moving on
I can't even breathe now that you're gone
You're my everything (Everything)
Let me know (Let me know)
When does it go away?
[Chorus: JoJo & Travis Garland]
How are you okay
When I can't be around you?
Don't you feel the pain
That I feel without you?
'Cause I have to pretend
That you don't make a difference
It's the lie that I'm living in
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
When does it go away?
