I think I see you but I can't be sure
I don't know what I'm seeing anymore
And when I turn and there's nobody there
It's almost more than I can bear

I feel the time slipping through my hands
I recognize that I don't understand
And as the days roll into the nights
It barely makes a difference

Everybody knows you're gone
And we've got to carry on
Everybody knows it's hard
There's no need to fall apart

So we drift and we wait and we piece it together
Lost in a dream and it seems like it's taking us so long
So long

I'm in a cloud when I'm walking around
How can I face what they're talking about
I find it hard just to be myself
Why am I not too soon to tell

How many times can you lose your faith
How many years have to go to waste
How many tries till you start giving up
There's nothing more to say now
Everybody knows you're gone
And we've got to carry on
Everybody knows it's hard
There's no need to fall apart

So we drift and we wait and we piece it together
Lost in a dream and it seems like it's taking us so long
So long

Everybody knows you're gone
And we've got to carry on
Everybody knows it's hard
There's no need to fall apart

Everybody knows you're gone
And we've got to carry on
Everybody knows it's hard
There's no need to fall apart
