Content: A song I wrote about Alex' feelings after his beloved Claire died in that accident.

A/N:1. I wrote this some time ago shortly after I listened to Aril Lavigne's "When you're gone" for the first time, so there may be some similarities.

2. Just because I wrote a song, doesn't mean I can sing, okay? So don't expect me to sing this. ;-)

Since you're gone

It was a pretty day
We woke up a bit too late
We didn't know at that time
That it'd become the worst day of our life
You went off to go to the shops
And you didn't come back anymore

Bridge:
And now I cry just for you
I hope that my tears will bring me back to you
Back into your protecting arms
Back to a new start
Because

Chorus:
Since you're gone
Everything that happens
Hurts me
Since you're gone
Nothing interests me
'Cause you aren't here with me
No more you and me
Now there's just me
Now I'm alone
Since you're gone

When your sister came home
With your daughter on her arm
I knew that something was wrong
We all went off right away
But now I know we came too late

When I saw your car on the ground
I was screaming out loud
I nearly jumped down to you
But my brother held me back
And let me down with a rope
When I got down I saw your corpse
Still sitting in the car
And all I did was
Taking you close to me
In my arms

Bridge
Chorus

When we got home I saw the ring
Which I had put on a pillow for you
I turned over right away
Out of this room
Out of this life
I wanted to kill me
To get back to you
I wanted to kill the stallion
That took you away from me
But then you appeared to me
You told me that I've got to do some things
That your life is over
But mine is not

And I promised
To take care of your kid
And I've to say
That I'll give my best for it
And I've to say
That I really miss you, girl
'Cause I really love you, girl
Then you smiled and said: "Me too!"
Then you went off
And went away forever

And now I don't cry anymore
'Cause I know God will bring me back to you, anytime
Back into your protecting arms
Back to a new start
A start in heaven
Where we'll be allowed to be
What we weren't allowed to be on earth
All I mean is a family
But although of this thoughts
I still mean

Chorus

Since you're gone
Im alone
Since you're gone
I'm alone

It was a pretty day
That made it all change
The most terrible day in my life
It all began with pretty day
