When You're Gone- Avril Lavigne
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

i love this song. and the video. it's not some meaningless booty shaking or half clothed women. the impact of it...wow. i actually wanted to cry watching it. videos like this, and 'hold on' by good charlotte...it brings across a message that strikes you right where it matters most, the heart. sometimes, i think...yes, this is what music is. something that shoots right through your soul...a melody you can appreciate, lyrics that have meaning to them. music is not just liking what you hear, it's feeling what you hear.
if i could make music like that...i'd be the happiest person alive.
# i miss you.
