Because You’re Gone
Lying next to you, I feel your breath upon my skin
You whisper in my ear, “All my life, where have you been?”
The one and only place I want you to be is near
I blink, you’re gone and now I’m the only one lying here
I’m only moving on…
I’m trying to move on, wondering where I went wrong
Trying to be strong, I’m struggling to move along
You weren’t supposed to spin me round and sweep me off my feet
You were supposed to be like every other girl I meet
I’m only moving on because you are gone, because you’re gone
I’m only moving on…
I had thought my broken heart would never ever heal
And that love was something again I could never feel
You taught me that I’ve still got plenty of love to give
It should’ve been all yours, for that myself I can’t forgive
I’m only moving on because you are gone, because you’re gone
I’m only moving on…
If I could go back, I’d hold you tight and not let go
That door’s shut. And so is that window
There are so many things to you I wish I could say
But I’m left just talking to myself since you passed away
I’m only moving on because you are gone, because you’re gone
I’m only moving on because you’re gone, because you’re gone
