WHEN YOU ARE GONE


I saw you walking away from me

Getting away and away

Little by little

I saw you flying away from me

Disappearing slowly

Little by little

And I tried to hold my breath

To actually go back in time

When we were so happy together

But your image in my mind was also fading

Little by little

And the pain in my heart getting more intense

Little by Little

And every thing was turning blurry

Little by little

And my legs were shaking

And I couldn't move

You were no where to be seeing

And something inside my chest was falling apart

Little by little

The distorted figures around me were moving fast

Pushing me away, and I had to go back

Go back to my mediocre life without you

Go back to live like nothing had happened

Go back and start my healing

Little by little

And the scars will never go away

Over and over I will try to forget you

Over and over I will try to forgive you

And over and over I will ever remember you

And time will put a toll on me

Little by little

My reflected image won't be the same

My smile will be turned backwards, upside down

Like my life without you

And my heart will still be falling apart

Little by little

And it will be the day when inside, finally dry

I will turn my face back

And I will think that there is you, who is approaching again

Little by little

And my heart will accelerate

And my life will feel strange

And I will think that I am smiling again

And then I will close my eyes

To keep that image of you eternally

I will die

Little by little
