Lyrics When Youre Gone

When Youre Gone was co-written by Bryan Adams and Eliot Kennedy. It was inspired by the notion of how someones absence can have a significant emotional impact. Bryan Adams was motivated to write the song while on tour, capturing the feeling of missing someone that many people experience while away from loved ones.

I've been wandering around the house all night
Wond'ring what the hell to do
Yeah, I'm trying to concentrate but all I can think of is you
Well, the phone don't ring cause my friends ain't home
I'm tired of being all alone
Got the TV on, cause the radio's playing songs that remind me of you

Baby when you're gone
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Baby, when you're gone

Yeah, I've been driving up and down these streets
Trying to find somewhere to go
Yeah, I'm lookin' for a familiar face but there's no one I know
Ah, this is torture, this is pain, it feels like I'm gonna go insane
I hope you're coming back real soon cause I don't know what to do

Baby when you're gone (When you're gone)
I realize I'm in love
Days go on and on (On and on)
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong
Yeah, baby, when you're gone


Baby when you're gone (When you're gone)
I realize I'm in love (I'm in love)
Days go on and on
And the nights just seem so long
Even food don't taste that good
Drink ain't doing what it should
Things just feel so wrong (So wrong)
Baby, when you're gone (You're gone)

Baby, when you're gone
Baby, when you're gone
