lyrics

Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?
Didn’t you know that we would bring you home, though you stayed away so long?
Living took you someplace else, but here you still belonged.
Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?

You kept your ache inside; you never had too much to say.
So we learned not to pry; we just hoped you were okay.
But over time, the toll was paid, the months turned into years.
The end result of all your pain has brought us all to tears.

Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?
Didn’t you know that we would bring you home, though you stayed away so long?
Living took you someplace else, but here you still belonged.
Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?

We tried to show you love, but didn’t know what we could do
To make a passage through the wall that was protecting you
Maybe now you can see how much we miss you now
(…)

Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?
Didn’t you know that we would bring you home, though you stayed away so long?
Living took you someplace else, but here you still belonged.
Didn’t you know that we would cry when you were gone?
