[English]

Now your gone

I realized my love for you was strong

And I miss you here, now you're gone

I keep waiting here by the phone

With your pictures hanging on the wall

Now you're gone

I realized my love for you was strong

And I miss you here, now you're gone

I keep waiting here by the phone

With your pictures hanging on the wall

Are you ready?

Now you're gone

I realized my love for you was strong

And I miss you here, now you're gone

Is this the way it's meant to be?

Only dreaming that you're missing me

I'm waiting here at home

I'll be crazy, now you're gone

(Ready for takeoff)

(Ready for takeoff)

(Ready, ready, ready, ready...)

Ready for takeoff

Now you're gone

I realized my love for you was strong

And I miss you here, now you're gone

I keep waiting here by the phone

With your pictures hanging on the wall

There empty place in my heart

It won't alarm me, it will break apart

It won't heal, it never fades away

I'll be crazy, now you're gone

Now you're gone

I realized my love for you was strong

And I miss you here, now you're gone

I keep waiting here by the phone

With your pictures hanging on the wall

Is this the way it's meant to be?

Only dreaming that you're missing me

I'm waiting here at home

I'll be crazy, now you're gone

Now you're gone
