When You’re Gone (Acoustic) Lyrics

[Verse 1]
You never know how good you have it
Until you're starin' at a picture of the only girl that matters, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
I know what we're supposed to do
It's hard for me to let go of you
So I'm just tryna hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So I'm just tryna hold on

[Verse 2]
I need to learn how to cope without you
And I'm tryna protect myself but only you know how to, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, I know what we're supposed to do
I hate the thought of losing you
So I'm just tryna hold on
[Chorus]
Hold on
I don't wanna know what it's like whеn you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's likе when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So I'm just tryna hold on

[Bridge]
Starting to feel like you don't need me
Wanna believe it's all for the better
It's getting real, I'm missing you deeply, yeah
So I'm just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don't need me
Wanna believe it's all for the better
It's getting real, I'm missing you deeply
So I'm just tryna hold on

[Chorus]
Hold on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest, oh, I've ever been
So I'm just tryna hold on
Oh, I'm just tryna hold on
[Outro]
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So I'm just tryna hold on

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
