Even Though You’re Gone – Lyrics

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone

Things don’t look as bad
As they did yesterday
Every minute I get stronger
Somehow, some way
’Cause I gotta keep on living
I got the will to survive
Even though I feel so bad
So bad inside

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone

All the plans I had
I’ve got to give them up
And start anew
Making plans for one
Instead of making plans for two
From now on I’ll be thinking
Thinking ’bout myself
It’ll be a long, long time
Before I love somebody else

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone

I depended on you
For everything
Oh, I really trusted you
How could you do me
The way you did
Oh, you really let me down, yeah

(Gotta find a way somehow)
(Nothing’s gonna stop me now)
(Gotta find a way somehow)
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Gotta keep living on
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Got to move on, yeah
(She’s gone away)
(She’s gone away)
She’s gone away
(She’s gone)
Gotta keep moving one
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Though you’re gone, yeah
Though you’re gone
I gotta keep moving on
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Even though you’re gone
Though you’re gone
