When you are gone...

When I was young, you looked so tall
And I felt so small
I'd hold your hand and stare into your eyes
And all the fear I felt inside blew away with the wind
It was hard not to be afraid in this big old place
But with you, I knew I was safe

It was a big wide world
And I was daddy's little girl
You were everything to me
You're still everything I need

It's hard to walk through life without a map
Thinking of the life you had
Cursing everything that seems so wrong
It's hard to walk alone
When you can't find your way back home
It's hard 'cause I don't want to believe you're gone

The pictures on the wall, the ghost of your voice down the hall
It all reminds me of you
But they're just visions in the dark, memories on my heart
There's still so much I wish you knew

It was a big wide world
And I was daddy's little girl
You were everything to me
You're still everything I need

It's hard to walk through life without a map
Thinking of the life you had
Cursing everything that seems so wrong
It's hard to walk alone
When you can't find your way back home
It's hard 'cause I don't want to believe you're gone

When you're gone
I can't breathe
When you're gone
I'm drowning in my grief
When you're gone
I'm still that little girl
When you're gone
I'm still alone in that big wide world

It's hard to walk through life without a map
Thinking of the life you had
Cursing everything that seems so wrong
It's hard to walk alone
When you can't find your way back home
It's hard 'cause I don't want to believe you're gone

You're still everything to me
You'll always be everything I need
