In the Absence of the Sun Songtext

von Duncan Sheik

For all the good you say it does.
It feels no better when you've had your way
You may believe it's just because
The 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
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it...
As we become shadows of ourselves

Some may fear commited lives
I am sure I'm one of them without you
Does it come to you as some surprise?
I laid the gronud beneath to doubt you
Was it ever girl, something you could hold...

Repeat 1

I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine.
If someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
