When You're Gone Lyrics

What if I only feel alive when you're near?

When you want me close

The world becomes so clear

But the truth is

You can pull it all away

And suddenly, I'm lost

Don't know what to say

You can't build a home from someone's heart

It might seem safe

But it'll tear apart

I did it anyway

Made you my all

Now when you're gone

I feel so small

I built my life around your gaze

Thought your love would guide me through the maze

But leaning on you was a dangerous game

Now I'm left with nothing

Just the pain

You can't build a home from someone's heart

It might seem safe

But it'll tear apart

I did it anyway

Made you my all

Now when you're gone

I feel so small

Maybe one day

I'll stand on my own

Find out who I am when I'm alone

But right now

I'm lost in the space you left

Trying to rebuild from what's been cleft

You can't build a home from someone's heart

It might seem safe

But it'll tear apart

I did it anyway

Made you my all

Now when you're gone

I feel so small

What if I only feel alive when you're close?

Now you're gone

I'm just a fading ghost

But I'll find my way back to who I should be

Without making you my everything

I'll set myself free

I feel so small

What if I only feel alive when you're close?

Now you're gone

I'm just a fading ghost

But I'll find my way back to who I should be

Without making you my everything

I'll set myself free
