When You're Gone
Embracing Strength in Absence
Lyrics
When you go away I will be fine
Expressing confidence and independence in dealing with the absence of a person.
I'll use a secret weapon called my mind
Highlighting the use of mental strength as a coping mechanism when the person is away.
When you go away I will be fine
Reiterating the ability to handle the absence positively and maintain well-being.
I may miss you bad
Acknowledging the potential feelings of longing or nostalgia when separated.
But I'm not going back
Emphasizing the determination not to revisit past experiences or relationships.
I am stronger than that
Declaring inner strength, suggesting resilience in the face of challenges.
I can bounce right back
Expressing the ability to quickly recover from setbacks.
cnd I will be fine when you're gone
Affirming well-being during the absence of the person being addressed.
When you're gone
Repetition for emphasis on the theme of coping with the person's absence.
I am at a crossroads in my life
Describing a pivotal moment in life with unclear guidance, possibly feeling lost.
Except all of the street signs have been vandalized
Using vandalism metaphorically to convey confusion and lack of direction.
cnd I don't know where to go
Expressing uncertainty about the right path but rejecting the idea of returning home.
But I'm not going home
Reiterating the decision not to return to a familiar or comfortable place.
I'm not going home
Repetition for emphasis on the resolve to avoid going back.
I am stronger than that
Asserting personal strength and the ability to overcome challenges.
I can bounce right back
Highlighting resilience and the capability to recover quickly from adversity.
cnd I will be fine when you're gone
Reaffirming well-being during the absence of the addressed person.
When you're gone
Repetition for emphasis on coping and well-being during the person's absence.
When you're gone
-When you're gone
-I may miss you bad
Acknowledging the possibility of missing the person but resisting the urge to return.
But I'm not going back
Reiterating the determination not to revisit past experiences or relationships.
cnd though I feel so sad
Expressing temporary sadness but recognizing that it will pass.
I know that it won't last
Confidently asserting the impermanence of the sad emotions.
I know that it won't last
Repetition emphasizing the transient nature of negative emotions.
‘Cause I was more than that
Stating that the speaker transcends a previous version of themselves.
Than that
Emphasizing a positive transformation from the past.
I am stronger than that
Reasserting inner strength and resilience in the face of challenges.
I can bounce right back
Highlighting the ability to bounce back quickly from setbacks.
cnd you
Continuing to affirm well-being and strength during the addressed person's absence.
You'll feel it too
Suggesting that the addressed person will also feel the impact of the speaker's absence.
When I'm gone
Repetition for emphasis on the reciprocal nature of emotional impact.
When I'm gone
-I am stronger than that
Reasserting personal strength and the ability to overcome challenges.
I can bounce right back
Reiterating resilience and the capability to recover quickly from adversity.
cnd you'll feel it too
Emphasizing that the addressed person will also experience the speaker's absence.
When I'm gone
Repetition for emphasis on the reciprocal nature of emotional impact.
When I'm gone
-When I'm gone
Repetition for emphasis on the idea of the addressed person feeling the speaker's absence.
When I'm gone
-When I'm gone
-When I'm gone
-When I'm gone
-When I'm gone
