Katie Tropp Only When You're Gone Lyrics

[Chorus]

Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
And I don't know why?
Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
It's sad but that's life

[Verse 1]
What could I have done is what you always say
But when they came to you, you told them go away
I got my own problems get out of my face
Just get over it tomorrow's a new day
You don't realize they just need an ear
Someone to listen maybe catch their tears
Understanding from someone near
When all you did was disappear
We can all be a bit self-centered
Not even knowing how we affect ya
With our actions in the moment
We always think life keeps going
Until one day it's too late
All you're left with is this shame
So many questions that remain
You just wish it didn't end this way

[Chorus]

Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
And I don't know why?
Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
It's sad but that's life
[Verse 2]

Some days can feel like a pit of despair
I often wonder why I'm even breathing air
When I turn to you I get a blank stare
Why am I talking cuz you don't care
Deep inside I am screaming
But what you see is deceiving
All I've got is f*cked up feelings
Every day I feel like leaving
Today is the day I have something to say
I just opened up while you turned away
If you only knew this could be what saved My life but I'm bout to go the other way
No turning back once I made the decision
Kinda feeling hazy with blurry vision
In the end it was written
Now I'm the one that you're missing

[Chorus]

Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
And I don't know why?
Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
It's sad but that's life
[Verse 3]

The thing about me is I'm observant
From what I see a lot of people are hurtin'
Life ain't perfect but some are searching
For a utopia that's uncertain
What to do to try and get through
To anyone who will listen to you
They ain't deaf but can't hear a tune
As soon as you talk they out the room
Walls are built that no one will climb
Then it becomes the place where you will hide
Holding back all the pain inside
Where it will slowly overtake your mind
On the outside looking in
They want to help out their only friend
But they're at a loss they don't know how to mend
This is a cycle that will never end

[Chorus]

Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
And I don't know why?
Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
It's sad but that's life

Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
And I don't know why?
Only when you're gone
Is when they give a f*ck
It's sad but that's life
