  • I can be tough, I can be strong
    But with you, it's not like that at all
    There's a girl that gives a shit behind this wall
    You just walk through it

    And I remember all those crazy things you said
    You left them running through my head
    You're always there, you're everywhere
    But right now, I wish you were here
    All those crazy things we did
    Didn't think about it, just went with it
    You're always there, you're everywhere
    But right now, I wish you were here

    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you here, here, here
    I wish you were here
    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you near, near, near
    I wish you were here

    I love the way you are
    It's who I am, don't have to try hard
    We always say, say it like it is
    And the truth is that I really miss

    All those crazy things you said (things you said)
    You left them running through my head (through my head)
    You're always there, you're everywhere
    But right now, I wish you were here
    All those crazy things we did (things we did)
    Didn't think about it, just went with it (went with it)
    You're always there, you're everywhere
    But right now, I wish you were here

    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you here, here, here
    I wish you were here
    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you near, near, near
    I wish you were here

    No, I don't wanna let go
    I just wanna let you know
    That I never wanna let go, let go, oh, oh
    No, I don't wanna let go
    I just wanna let you to know
    That I never wanna let go, let go, let go, let go, let go
    Let go, let go, let go, let go
    Let go, let go, let go, let go

    Damn, damn, damn (damn)
    What I'd do to have you here, here, here
    I wish you were here (I wish you were here)
    Damn, damn, damn (what I'd do, what I'd do)
    What I'd do to have you near, near, near
    I wish you were here (right here)
    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you here, here, here (right here)
    I wish you were here
    Damn, damn, damn
    What I'd do to have you near, near, near
    I wish you were here Writer/s: Avril Ramona Lavigne, Johan Karl Schuster, Martin Karl Sandberg
