it's hitting, it's just now hitting

that you've gone**, gone from my life 

tears welling, our sadness telling

and each one** cuts like a knife

i feel you slipping through me, whenever i hold you tight

your silence whispers to me the cry of the endless night

and every time i say i love you

you turn your eyes to a dim and distant light

it's hitting, it's just now hitting

that you've gone**, gone from my life

tears flowing, my sorrows growing

and each one** cuts like a knife

for all the times you told me, how happy i made you then

i'd give the world for knowing you feel that way again

but something's died, there's no denying

it's just a matter of how and where and when

it's hitting, it's just now hitting

that you've gone**, gone from my life

tears welling, our sadness telling

and each one** cuts like a knife
