What is the song When You're Gone by Avril Lavigne about?

Answer 1

This song by Avril is about lovers who have to part and the boy goes away.

This song tells about her grandpa who died... if you want the lovers who have been apart you should listen to Slipped Away.

The above is wrong! Slipped Away was the song Avril wrote dedicated to her dead Grandad. I'm not sure what the general song of When You're Gone is about but the video shows a pregnant wife whose husband goes off to war, an old man missing his dead wife, and a teenage girl whose mother made it clear it was forbidden for her daughter to see her boyfriend.

Answer 2

when he is gone.
