Once You're Gone

Summer days, they won’t be the same.

The laughter, the holding hands

You showin’ up on my doorstep.

Chorus:

What am I to do once you’re gone?

Where’s the fun in growin’ up without someone?

I always wanted you, you by my side

What’s the point of keepin’ on, keepin’ on?

What’s the point of keepin’ on, keepin’ on?

Love letters don’t always hold you warm.

I’d rather have your arms and your lips

The way you’ve made me feel from my toes to my fingertips.

Chorus

I’m not looking forward to you leaving,

Even though I’m sure I can find something to occupy my time.

It all just won’t be the same without you by my side.

Chorus

What am I to do?

Gotta say that my feelings are too strong,

Don’t want you to go, don’t want you gone.

So what’s the point, what’s the point of keepin’ on?

Chorus

What’s the point of keepin’ on once you’re gone?

Pretend That You're Dead

This hurts,

This is painful.

Hell is finally freezing over,

And I’m doing something that I never thought

I would do.

Chorus:

Because this is the time

That I finally have to say goodbye,

And the only way that I can deal with this grief

Is to pretend that you’re dead;

Pretend that you’re dead in my world

And that I’ll never get to see you again,

Never hear your voice again.

Because you decided to cut the ties,

After all these years,

I guess the past five have all been lies—

So I’m going to shed a few last tears

It’s time to move on,

You’re no longer here.

Chorus

Maybe you met somebody new,

But I’m done second guessing

Everything that you’ve said and done—

Just going to cherish all the memories

Reminisce knowing that it wasn’t my fault,

Remember the man I loved who wasn’t

Leaving me in the dust, alone.

Chorus

Pretend that you’re dead

Because I’m done and you’re oh so gone.

You’re out of my life.

Chorus

Oh no, I’m just going to pretend that you’re dead.
