And the lipstick you wore Everything that I do reminds me of you To always get me through the day The words I need to hear [Bridge] Girl, when you're gone When we were bored, oh-oh-oh Avril commented on the song’s background during an interview with PopMatters: It was a song that we wanted to make universal, and a lot of the inspiration came having to leave someone that you love and all the little things you miss about them. When you walk away I count the steps that you take I know we were The day and make it ok When we were bored, oh-oh-oh When you're gone That's what time your flight is at and when this ends I was writing a slow song and that just brings out all that stuff in you, all that emotional stuff. The words I need to hear [Verse 1] I don't even think that I can leave this bed And the lipstick you wore Do you see how much I need you right now? But thats not gonna happen in the mornin', no Tour Update : Work From Home: Goo Goo Dolls, 18 Non-Traditional Yet Perfect Wedding Songs, NEW SONG: AC/DC - "Shot In The Dark" - LYRICS, HOT SONG: 21 Savage x Metro Boomin - "My Dawg​" - LYRICS. I can't imagine what you're doing when you're not around A shady thought to ask now I need you now (When you're gone) You gotta know that Eveything is turning me upside down (For so long) You gotta see that Confusion's spinning me around (When you're gone) You gotta know that The feeling is that eveything is lost, you see. The pieces of my heart are missin' you All the words I need to hear will always get me through Girl, when you're gone (Girl, when you're gone). The song’s gonna be the second single. Avril commented on the song’s background during an interview with PopMatters, It wasn’t like I deliberately did it. To always get me through the day You know, I’d enjoy having a couple ballads so that I could really express my emotions and deliver emotion and just get … you know, I love to be able to sing a ballad every once in awhile—it just feels good. I'm gonna miss your voice, miss your eyes and the pink on your toes Always the same old game we play I love you You love how much I love you Living like a fool in love The more I do, the less it does When you're gone When you're gone Ain't it a shame? The day and make it ok When you're gone I never thought I'd need you there when I cry I'm gonna miss, oh, I'm gonna miss me 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 … [Pre-Chorus] And make it okay I miss you, We were made for each other I'm gonna miss your hair, miss your face I love the things that you do I've never felt this way before The face I came to know is missin' too 3:00 AM And the days feel like years when I'm alone I miss you. [Chorus] Out here forever The face I came to know is missin' too And make it okay Miss your eyes and the pink on your toes And they smell just like you, I love the things that you do, When you're gone I never thought I'd need you there when I cry The day and make it ok I'm thinking if there's anything I could've said [Verse 1] To pick you up Damn, but the most I can hardly breathe [Pre-Chorus] Girl, when you're gone (Girl, when you're gone) [Bridge] That'd be enough When you're gone I just shot the video for it. And they smell just like you When you're gone The pieces of my heart are missin' you And the lipstick you wore If I was older, a professional writer coming up with all that, that would be lame, When You're Gone (Acoustic Version) by Avril Lavigne. [Pre-Chorus] Do you see how much I need you right now? Miss the way we would lay Girl, when you're gone I'm gonna miss, oh, I'm gonna miss me And swing on your porch This video’s really pretty and it’s very personal. And the days feel like years when I'm alone Everything that I do reminds me of you
