You're Gone

(album: I'm Going Back There Someday - 2005)

I said hello I think I'm broken
And though I was only joking
It took me by surprise when you agreed
I was trying to be clever
For the life of me I never would have guessed how far
The simple truth would lead
You knew all my lines, you knew all my tricks
You knew how to heal that pain no medicine can fix

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that he let you lay beside me
For a moment that lives on
And the good news is
I'm better for the time we spent together
And the bad news is
You're gone

Looking back it's still surprising
I was sinking, you were rising
And with a look, you caught me in the mid-air
Now I know God has his reasons
But sometimes it's hard to see them
When I awake and find that you're not there
You found hope in hopeless
You made crazy sane
You became the missing link
That helped me break my chains

And I bless the day I met you
And I thank God that he let you lay beside me
For a moment that lives on
And the good news is
I'm better for the time we spent together
The bad news is
You're gone
