Just Gone for a While

Verse 1

You said, “I’ll just be gone for a while,” I never asked you where. I wasn’t worried at all, I thought we'd always be there.

Now I’m sitting here alone, the old clock strikes six tonight. Your favorite sweater’s hanging there, as if you’re still in sight.

Pre-Chorus

Old photographs upon the table, dust on every frame. Time keeps moving without you, but for me it stayed the same.

Chorus

You were just gone for a while, just for a moment in time. But minutes slowly turned to years, and you never crossed that line.

You were just gone for a while, just a few simple words. Yet they changed my whole life forever, more than anyone ever heard.

Verse 2

Your traces still remain here, everything that you once were. A lifetime filled with light and warmth, now fading into a blur.

My world has two chapters, the one with you and me. And everything that followed since you disappeared from me.

Pre-Chorus

I wonder in the silent nights where your road may have led. If somewhere your heart is beating, and if I still cross your head.

Chorus

You were just gone for a while, just for a moment in time. But minutes slowly turned to years, and you never crossed that line.

You were just gone for a while, just a few simple words. Yet they changed my whole life forever, more than anyone ever heard.

Bridge

I don't know if you're still living, or if somewhere you've found your peace. I only know that since that day, the pain has never ceased.

Every morning starts with questions, every night leaves them the same. Somewhere between hope and sorrow, I forgot who I became.

Chorus

You were just gone for a while, just for a moment in time. But minutes slowly turned to years, and you never crossed that line.

You were just gone for a while, just a few simple words. Yet they changed my whole life forever, more than anyone ever heard.

Outro

The clock keeps counting every hour, life keeps passing by. But your “gone for a while” became my eternity.
