Lyrics

When You’re Gone
Words & Music by Reid Myers
As the sunlight comes burning through my eyes
And the whiskey adds its pain
I can see that I'm not lying next to you
And my heartache starts again
Our picture faded like some old country song
Forgotten long ago
Still I find I have this longing in my heart
Maybe I Just love you when you’re gone
Maybe I Just love you when you’re gone
Bright and young and free, we traveled down that road
But I got lost along the way
I guess I never really understood love
I only saw what I could take
Running, drinking and acting like the fool
The years went on and on
You hurt someone enough…well I guess everybody breaks
Maybe I just love you when your gone
Maybe I just love you when your gone
Now I only see the sad goodbyes
My broken promises and all my lies
The hopes and dreams that I destroyed
The wreckage of our love
The wreckage of our love
The wreckage of my life
The choices that I made led me to these rooms
Now I take a step
I know that one day I will have to make amends
I haven't made it that far yet
I read those words again, this time I clearly see
There’s a Power far beyond
And in this Power I have come to believe
He will set me free and lead me on
Yes He even loved me when I was gone
And now I know I love you…
