And I can sing for you for free
But it's just never quite as special

But the song still made you smile
And I feel like it's been a while
Since your light shone on my account
[Chorus]
But when you're not around
I turn into something
I'm not lost or found
I'm neither, I'm nothing
When you're not around
There's not much to say
Hear me yelling out loud
My love went away, hear me shout
