and when you're gone the
pieces of my heart are missing you
A Fanlisting
When You're Gone
This is a song sang by Avril Lavigne. It appears on her third album, The Best Damn Thing, track number five. It's also her second single for the album, released in June of '07. This is Avril's first proper love song. It's one of two slow songs on the album, but it's really outstanding: the introduction draws you in, and from there you're away, listening to it. It's gorgeous, and Avril has really done well with this song.
Why
This song is definately, my favourite on the third album for the full duration of it. In fact, I may go as far to say it's drawing with my two all time Avril songs. I listened to it - and was stunned. Seriously stunned. It was so beatuiful, heart warming, and such a tear jerker. It makes me smile and cry when I listen to it - this song means a lot to me, and it really touches your heart. It may not relate to me directly, but it makes me thnk of my fandom and pairings and things like that, and just makes me want to cry. The video too, really shows how this song can relate to everyone - the old, and the young. This song is really special for me and I'm so glad I got a chance to run its fanlisting.
Do You See How Much I Need You Right Now
A line of the lyrics. I was thinking of calling it 'Pieces of My Heart', but, that is the name for a shrine I'm making (which is named after this song, yes). So I went for my next favourite bit - the bit just before the chorus, which really, really got me. 'Do you see how much I need you right now' is the line that first got me crying. And it relates to the name of the song, as well, so I think it fits.
the face i came to know
is missing too, when you're gone the words
I always needed time on my own.
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?
Chorus
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 okay...
I miss you.
I've never felt this way before.
Everything that I do,
Reminds me of you.
And that clothes you left, that 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?
Chorus
When you're gone,
The pieces of my heart are missing you.
(and) When you're gone,
The face I came to know is missing too.
(and) When you're gone,
The words I need to hear to always get me through the day,
And make it okay...
I miss you.
We were made for each other,
Out here forever,
I know we were... (yeah yeah)
And all I ever wanted was for you to know,
Everything I do I give my heart and soul,
I can hardly breathe I need to feel you here with me...
Chorus
When you're gone,
The pieces of my heart are missing you.
(and) When you're gone,
The face I came to know is missing too.
(and) When you're gone,
The words I need to hear will always get me through the day,
And make it okay...
I miss you...
