About

Avril commented on the song’s background during an interview with PopMatters:

It was a song that we wanted to make universal, and a lot of the inspiration came having to leave someone that you love and all the little things you miss about them. The song’s gonna be the second single.

I just shot th...

When You’re Gone Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I always needed time on my own
I never thought I'd need you there when I cried
And the days feel like years when I'm alone
And the bed where you lie is made up on your side

[Pre-Chorus]
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

[Chorus]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' 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

[Verse 2]
I've never felt this way before
Everything that I do reminds me of you
And the clothes you left, they lie on the floor
And they smell just like you
I love the things that you do

[Pre-Chorus]
When you walk away
I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?

[Chorus]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' too
And when you're gone, the words I need to hear
To always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you

[Bridge]
We were made for each other, out here forever
I know we were, yeah, yeah
And all I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I do, I give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe, I need to feel you here with me, yeah

[Chorus]
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missin' you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missin' too
When you're gone, the words I need to hear
Will always get me through the day
And make it okay
I miss you, mmm

What did Avril Lavigne say about "When You're Gone"?

This was the closest Avril has ever come to writing a love song, so much that it actually embarrassed her a little.

It wasn’t like I deliberately did it. I was writing a slow song and that just brings out all that stuff in you, all that emotional stuff. It’s not cheesy, because I wrote it. If I was...
