Shawn Mendes ultimately dropped his new song, “When You’re Gone,”. While he played a bared version on the piano, he sang the first few lines to the chorus, “I don’t want to know what it’s like when you’re gone / I don’t want to move on.” The 23-year-old Toronto resident went on to explain how he’s been coping since his November 2021 breakup with “Señorita” Song Partner Camila Cabello.
Shawn Mendes When You’re Gone Lyrics
You never know-how
good you have it
Ohh, ohhh
Until you’re staring at a picture
of the only girl that matters
Huh-uh
I know what we’re supposed to do
It’s hard for me to let go of you
so I’m just trying to 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 trying to hold on
I need to learn how
to cope without you
I’m trying to pretend myself
but I don’t really know how to
Yeah ohh I know what
we’re supposed to do
Ohh but I hate the
thought of losing you
So I’m just trying to 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 trying to hold on
Starting to feel like
you don’t need me
Wanna believe it’s
all for the better
It’s getting real
I’m missing you deeply
So I’m just trying to hold on
Starting to feel like
you don’t need me
Wanna believe it’s
all for the better
It’s getting real
I’m missing you deeply
So I’m just trying to 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 trying to hold on
I’m just trying to move on
