When You're Gone

It is now 5 years since the teenage Avril Lavigne first burst onto our charts with 'Complicated'. She returned earlier this year with her UK No.2 smash 'Girlfriend' and, then reminded fans of her versatility with the softer follow-up 'When You're Gone' which was another huge top 3 success.

[Verse 1] I always needed time on my own I never thought I'd need you there when I cry 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
