What will I do when you're gone
When my word has been you for so long
How can I lie to my heart and go on pretending
Nothing has changed
I'm alone again without understanding
Why all my life waiting for the day

That a dream would come true just to slip away
The sun won't shine again and time could never mend
A heart that's been loved and then
Broken in two
Has nothing to live for 'cause nothing will do
So what will I do when you're gone

When my world has been you for so long
You're the Island I swim to when
Drowning in hope
You're the last thing I reach for at the end of my hope
So what will I do when you're gone
The sun won't shine again

And time could never mend
A heart that's been loved and then broken in two
Has nothing to live for 'cause nothing will do
So what will I do when you're gone
When my world has been you for so long
You're the Island I swim to when

Drowning in hope
You're the last thing I reach for at the end of my hope
So what will I do
What will I do
What will I do when you're gone
When you're gone
