in the absence of the sun

for all the good you say it does

it seems no better when you had your say

you may believe its just because

words get colder when you've gone away

i thought i understood

what i was to you

i don't want to feel this way no

i don't want to say i'm just a friend

i don't want to wait around here

cause you don't want to feel no pain again

we just lie about it

as we become shadows of ourselves

some may fear committed lives

i sure am one of them without you

does it come to you as some surprise

i lay the ground beneath to doubt you

was it ever

girl

something you could hold

i don't want to feel this way no

i don't want to say i'm just a friend

i don't want to wait around here

cause you don't want to feel no pain again

we just lie about it

as we become shadows of ourselves

i don't want to look away

i don't want to be the one denied

it ain't no fault of mine

someone somewhere told you lies

we don't talk about it

we just become shadows of ourselves

we don't talk about it

we just become shadows of ourselves

i don't want to feel this way no

i don't want to say i'm just a friend

i don't want to wait around here

cause you don't want to feel no pain again

we just lie about it

as we become shadows of ourselves

i don't want to look away

i don't want to be the one denied

it ain't no fault of mine

someone somewhere told you lies

we don't talk about it

we just become shadows of ourselves

we don't talk about it

we just become shadows of ourselves
