About .
“When You’re Gone” is a song by Canadian singer Shawn Mendes. It was released as a single through Island Records. The song is a pop-rock song that lyrically sees Mendes singing about the end of a relationship, similar to his previous single from late 2021, “It’ll Be Okay”. Transitioning from the first verse to the chorus, he sings: “It’s hard for me to let go of you / So I’m trying to hold on, hold on / I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone”. Further, into the chorus, he croons: “I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been / So I’m just trying to hold on”. The song has also been described as “a dreamy love song with a punchy chorus”.

You never know how good you have it, oh
Until you’re starin’ at a picture of the only girl that matters, aah

It’s hard for me to let go of you
So, I’m just tryna hold on
Hold on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone
I don’t wanna move on
I don’t wanna know what it’s like when you’re gone for good
You’re slipping through my fingertips
A little bit, by a little bit
I didn’t know that loving you was the happiest I’ve ever been
So, I’m just tryna hold on
I need to learn how to cope without you
I’m tryna protect myself but only you know how to, yeah

So, I’m just tryna hold on
Starting to feel like you don’t need me
Wanna believe it’s all for the better
It’s gettin’ real, I’m missing you deeply
