When You're Gone - Avril Lavigne

i'm probably kinda slow but i've only started to listen to Avril Lavigne's "When You're Gone" recently and found it realli addictive. what is realli addicting me is not the tune of the song or the lyrics or anything. In fact, the lyrics are very plain and simple, kinda like a typical sad love song. and the tune is jus very Avril too, her usual style of songwriting. but it is the way Avril sings in the song, so desperate, so intense and in pain that realli haunts me.

whenever i listen to it, i am instantly brought back to the lowest point in my life so far.. some of you wud be able to guess when. it is a very painful memory for me and listening to it realli jus refreshes the whole experience for me - the whole 3 months that i went thru in such agony, and made me such a different person then.

but it also makes me realli cherish my life now.. and the feeling that returns every once in a while serves as a constant reminder to not take things for granted.

i can't share the song with you here but if you have the chance, find a corner, sit down comfortably, close your eyes and listen to the song - with your heart. and tell me if you can feel the pain too?

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
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

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

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
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you

We were made for each other
Out here forever
I know we were, yeah
All I ever wanted was for you to know
Everything I'd do, I'd give my heart and soul
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me, yeah

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
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day and make it ok
I miss you
