"When You're Gone"

"When You're Gone", is a wonderful song by Avril Lavigne. This song is emotional and sensitive. It talks about the suffering a person goes through when they lose someone that is close to them and the pain of seeing a loved one in danger. The words of the song are very powerful. They emphasize the pain of having a broken heart. The music and lyrics in this song demonstrate emotions that truly touch your heart.




I think the best part of the song is when she says:"When you're gone, the pieces of my heart are missing you..." This describes the feelings that a parent of a soldier in Afghanistan may feel. Knowing that their child might be in danger. Or the feeling that you have when when you are away from your family and friends. "When You're Gone" is a breathtaking and expressive song.

Those are some of the lyrics of the song:
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
When you walk away I count the steps that you take
Do you see how much I need you right now?
When you're gone
The pieces of my heart are missing you
When you're gone
The face I came to know is missing too
When you're gone
All the words I need to hear to always get me through the day
And make it OK I miss you
