Absent

I didn't make it to the airport
I won't be there when you land
I hope that you don't think that I was faking sick to get in your head
I didn't make it to your birthday
Blew out the candles alone
I sent you a letter to make it all better
But no piece of paper replaces those nights at home

I'm sorry I can't help that I'm never there
I know sometimes I act that I couldn't care
I promise that I miss you
These teeth just can't be lied through
I'll be back in your bed soon, your front room
But in the morning I'll have to go
Sorry that you didn't know

I didn't make it to the goodbye, or when your bags hit the floor
You unpacked your clothes over the floor alone
Wait for a knock on the door

I'm sorry I can't help that I'm never there
I know sometimes I act that I couldn't care
I promise that I miss you
These teeth just can't be lied through
I'll be back in your bed soon, your front room
But in the morning I'll have to go
Sorry that you didn't know
Sorry that you didn't know

Oh, oh, sometimes I think I'm better off alone
I hate myself and all my skin and bone
Sorry that you didn't know
You'll be so much better off
And I'll just be more hollow
Oh, oh, sometimes I think I'm better off alone
I hate myself and all my skin and bone
Sorry that you didn't know
You'll be so much better off
And I'll just be more hollow
Oh, oh, sometimes I think I'm better off alone
I hate myself and all my skin and bone
Sorry that you didn't know
You'll be so much better off
And I'll just be more hollow
Oh, oh, sometimes I think I'm better off alone
I hate myself and all my skin and bone
Sorry that you didn't know
You'll be so much better off
And I'll just be more hollow
