Lyrics
CHORUS:
When are you gone? Then can you go?
When is someone worth losing something for?
When are you so much in love that you're not there anymore?
When are you gone?
I guess it took you by surprise,
Friends asking "when do you move to the city"
When do you leave a world
You worked so hard to make your own?
Here I am without you
Thinking they're reading my mind,
But I'm not allowed to ask
No, I'm not allowed to ask CHORUS
Now I'm the bad guy
Now I'm making demands
Aren't you asking me to be alone?
I understand it, it's not a battle
It's not who matters most
I ask you photograph by the phone
If I get lost, what do you lose?
When there's a cost, do you really get to choose?
Here are my arms, when will they be too far away?
When are you gone?
They say that absence, it makes the heart grow fonder.
That means this is going to get worse,
This is going to get worse, I wish, I wonder 2nd CHORUS and 1st
