When You're Gone Lyrics

Cover art for When You're Gone lyrics by Cranberries, The

hmm. i listened to the cranberries a lot when i was going through a breakup; it's like an unwritten rule or something that you just do that.... but this song really stood out to me - because it's just that simple: it's about a breakup. or atleast, that's the way i interpret it. because if you've had your heart broken, you know exactly how hard it it so sleep alone at night, and to try to function in the day. nothing makes sense, it's all complicated and turned around. and all you can do is just keep going on without this person, keep sinking, keep dreaming, carrying on as best you can. this song is a breakdown. it's one day out of many where the girl just realizes it's so much to handle.
