"When You're Gone"

You never know how good you have it, oh

Until you're starin' at a picture of the only girl that matters, aah

I know what we're supposed to do

It's hard for me to let go of you

So, I'm just tryna hold on

Hold on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit, by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

So, I'm just tryna hold on

I need to learn how to cope without you

I'm tryna protect myself but only you know how to, yeah

Oh, I know what we're supposed to do

Oh, but I hate the thought of losing you

So, I'm just tryna hold on

Hold on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit, by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

So, I'm just tryna hold on

Starting to feel like you don't need me

Wanna believe it's all for the better

It's gettin' real, I'm missing you deeply

So I'm just tryna hold on

Starting to feel like you don't need me

Wanna believe it's all for the better

It's gettin' real, missing you deeply

So, I'm just tryna hold on

Hold on

Yeah, I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone

I don't wanna move on

I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good

You're slipping through my fingertips

A little bit, by a little bit

I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been

(Oh, I've ever been)

So, I'm just tryna hold on
