I Hate When You're Gone Verse 1 I hate you’re not with me when it storms When the thunder rolls and the lightning cracks When I fall and I can’t get up And the whole world’s closing in fast I hate you’re not with me when I cry When I’m afraid of everything at once When the kids have problems I can’t solve And the bills keep piling up Chorus I hate when you’re gone When the night gets too long When I’m staring at the dark alone When the sky falls down And there’s no one around To say I’ll make it through somehow I hate when you’re gone Verse 2 I hate when an friend dies And I’m grieving alone When I write a book or a lonely poem And the words just won’t come through When I can't lift a box Or a jar won’t open wide When I wake from a frightening dream And your arms aren’t by my side Chorus I hate when you’re gone When the night gets too long When the world feels cold and unknown When the thunder cries And I close my eyes But I’m still facing it alone I hate when I am alone and cry When I think I might die...alone I hate when you’re gone Bridge I hate when you're gone And I think you might die...alone I'd hold your hand, I'd pray you home I'd help you breathe, I'd stay there by your side. Take me instead… I couldn’t bear the world without you in it Final Line (soft) Cause I hate… when you’re gone. Take me instead
