Lyrics

Even Though You're Gone

[Chorus]

Gotta find a way somehow

Nothing's gonna stop me now

Gotta find a way somehow

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

[Verse 1]

Things don't look as bad as they did yesterday

Every minute I get stronger

Somehow, someway

'Cause I gotta keep on living

I got the will to survive

Even though I feel so bad, so bad inside

[Chorus]

Gotta find a way somehow

Nothing's gonna stop me now

Gotta find a way somehow

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

[Verse 2]

All the plans I had, I've got to give them up and start anew

Makin' plans for one

Instead of making plans for two

From now on, I'll be thinkin', thinkin' 'bout myself

It'll be a long, long time

Before I love somebody else

[Chorus]

Gotta find a way somehow

Nothing's gonna stop me now

Gotta find a way somehow

Even though you're gone

[Bridge]

I depended on you for everything

Oh, I really trusted you

How could you do me the way you did?

Oh, you really let me down, yeah

[Chorus]

Gotta find a way somehow

Nothing's gonna stop me now

Gotta find a way somehow

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

Gotta keep livin' on

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

Got to move on, yeah

[Outro]

(She's gone away, she's gone away)

She's gone away

(She's gone)

Gotta keep movin' on

(She's gone away, she's gone away)

(She's gone)

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

(She's gone away, she's gone away)

Though you're gone

(She's gone)

(She's gone away, she's gone away)

Though you're gone

(She's gone)

I gotta keep movin' on

Even though you're gone

Even though you're gone

Though you're gone
