Since You've Been Gone

Since you've been gone
So many things happened
So many people changed
So many laughs I kept just for myself

Since you've been gone
Injustice is all we have
We can't run away or hold someone tight
We can't kiss our loved ones or travel around the world

Since you've been gone
The world is a bitter place
There's no one we can trust
There's nowhere to escape
 
Since you've been gone
We're living one day at a time
We're struggling routine
Fighting to get out of bed

Since you've been gone
Life's a little less funny
Little less enjoyable
Little less beautiful

Since you've been gone
It's been three long years
No one is ever able to fill
This empty space no matter where I go

Silent days and scary nights
No one has been the same
Because nothing is ever the same
Since you've been gone
