"When You're Gone" lyrics
"When You're Gone"
You never know how good you have it, oh
Until you're starin' at a picture of the only girl that matters, aah
I know what we're supposed to do
It's hard for me to let go of you
So, I'm just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit, by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So, I'm just tryna hold on
I need to learn how to cope without you
I'm tryna protect myself but only you know how to, yeah
Oh, I know what we're supposed to do
Oh, but I hate the thought of losing you
So, I'm just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit, by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
So, I'm just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don't need me
Wanna believe it's all for the better
It's gettin' real, I'm missing you deeply
So I'm just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don't need me
Wanna believe it's all for the better
It's gettin' real, missing you deeply
So, I'm just tryna hold on
Hold on
Yeah, I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone
I don't wanna move on
I don't wanna know what it's like when you're gone for good
You're slipping through my fingertips
A little bit, by a little bit
I didn't know that loving you was the happiest I've ever been
(Oh, I've ever been)
So, I'm just tryna hold on
I'm just tryna hold on

Shawn Mendes explained Greg James at BBC Radio 1 Breakfast on the 31st of March, 2022,
"I wrote this a couple, like a month after Camila and I split up. It's interesting, because I think after you get over, like, the shock, of just like 'Wow, I'm not gonna see that person every day,' comes in the way that you realise you were relying on that person. And for me, Camila was a lot of my support system, and kind of realising 'OK, I've gotta be there and cope by myself and for myself,' and a lot of that just came through in the song, and... a lot of that is very true to me, and it feels right."
The singer debuted this song live early in March of 2022 at South By Southwest in Austin, Texas. He co-wrote it with Jonah Shy and Scott Harris and co-produced with Jonah Shy.
