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

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

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

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

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

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?
Where are you?

You were smiling
You were smiling
You were smiling

    General Comment:Clarkson wrote this eerie song four or five years prior to recording it on the My December album.
    Clarkson explained on her record label's website about this song concerning someone she grew up with that committed suicide: "I was expressing my anger at how someone could do that. Why would you leave all these people behind feeling guilty and wondering what they could have done to prevent it? I really believe that God puts us through these situations to help others."

    My Interpretation:My interpretation of the song is about an ex lover that left her and she is "haunted" by the fact that he is gone. And the part where she sings "Just when I found my world they took you, they broke you, they tore out your heart" she is saying that her parents won't let her see this guy. Well that is how I interpret it because I am in a similar situation.

    General Comment:Deep a great song there was some thing about it I thought it was about a beakup like all her other songs when I found out that its about suicide it made me look at the song from a diffrent point.

    My December is the best she has done.

    General Comment:i believe suicide makes sence but what about "they took you , they broke you , they tore out your heart "
    i think it's about somebody she loved but he was killed and these people who killed him are the ones she says they took him.so that guy who was killed is still haunting her.she hears his voice inside her head and she sees him everywhere

    She's mad that he's completely fine.

    General Comment:clearly, this song is about an ex. just the lyrics alone show that it's about an ex. i mean sure, you can interpret it as it being about another person she lost, but if you read the lyrics and listen to the song closely, you will realize what it's really about

    General Comment:Agony. Kelly really misses her friend, who's dead. His/her spirit haunting her to the point where she's to cry out whereareyou.ineedyou.-etc- xD I think the title already explains a portion of what the lyrics are about. D:

    General Comment:hinderistheshit, those lyrics are about her hearing her friend talk to her. And she's probably going over and over and over all the thigns that they said before committing suicide and so therefore she's trying to work out why they did it.
