Goo Goo Dolls - When You're Gone lyrics

And through the fence I see a ghost Of a place that used to breathe You know it choked away the sun But we still had food to eat And now everyone is gone To a place that won't be home Can they keep their family strong? Will they make it on their own? And we'll be standing when you're gone And we'll be heard again We missed our chance but not for long I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here When you're gone Then one day we realized That they couldn't hear our voice And it's so hard to understand When it's caught up in the noise But the ones who fight and die Are the truth inside the lie Now it's all built on our backs And we struggle to survive And we'll be standing when you're gone And we'll be heard again We missed our chance but not for long I know somehow we will hold on we'll be here When you're gone
