Lyrics

There are places I can recall
There are faces I can remember
THere are things that seems unclear
What seems clear now is I wish you were here

What would you say if I said
I can't stop thinking about you, Shannon
And you're gone

Without a warning sign, not even a goodbye
Somebody tell me why, I think I'm gonna cry, I don't know

There were things I held inside
There is anger I'm trying to fight
There is sadness I don't wanna know
As for strength well, I'm running low

What would you say if I said, I don't believe
Would you come down here to comfort me?
No, you're gone

Without a warning sign
Not even a goodbye
Somebody tell me why,
I really wanna cry
I don't know

You always made me laugh
Even when I didn't want to
How you touched my heart

What would you say if I said,
I cared for you
There were so many things that I never said, never showed you

And you're gone

Without a warning sign
Not even a goodbye
Somebody tell me why,
I think I'm gonna cry
I don't know
