[Verse 1]
Louder, louder
The voices in my head
Whispers taunting
All the things you said
Faster the days go by and I'm still
Stuck in this moment of wanting you here
Time
In the blink of an eye
You held my hand, you held me tight
Now you're gone
And I'm still crying
Shocked, broken
I'm dying inside
(Ooh, inside)

[Chorus]
Where are you? I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me, be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

[Verse 2]
Shadows linger
Only to my eye
I see you, I feel you
Don't leave my side
It's not fair
Just when I found my world
They took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart
I miss you, you hurt me
You left with a smile
Mistaken, your sadness
Was hiding inside
Now all that's left are the pieces to find
The mystery you kept
The soul behind a guise
(Ooh, you were smiling)

[Chorus]
Where are you? I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

[Bridge]
Why did you go?
All these questions run through my mind
I wish I couldn't feel at all
Let me be numb
I'm starting to fall (To fall)

[Chorus]
Where are you? I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Speak to me
Be near me
I can't survive unless I know you're with me
Where are you? I need you
Don't leave me here on my own
Where are you?
I can't survive unless I know you're with me

[Outro]
You were smiling
You were smiling
You were smiling

Kelly Brianne Clarkson (born April 24, 1982) is an American singer, songwriter, and occasional actress. In 2002, she came to prominence after winning the first season of American Idol, and has since been established as “The Original American Idol”. Her debut single, “A Moment Like This”, topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and broke the record for the biggest jump to number one in the chart’s history.

Her first album, Thankful included the top ten single “Miss Independent”, which earned her first Grammy nomination. Her second album Breakaway produced the hit single “Since U Been Gone” which reached number two on the Hot 100 and was certified platinum by the RIAA.

Clarkson went in a different direction with her self-creatively-controlled third album, My December. It debuted at number two on the Billboard 200 and produced the top-ten single “Never Again.” Her fourth album, All I Ever Wanted debuted at number one on the Billboard 200. Lead single “My Life Would Suck Without You” re-broke the record for biggest jump to number one on the Hot 100, jumping 97-1 in its second week on the chart. The record still stands today.
