“When I Don’t Have You” is Idarose’s first 2021 single. The track sees the artist’s loneliness when the person she likes is not around.
When the track reached the first thousand streams, Idarose explained that the chorus melody and lyrics came from a dream she had. Two months after the track’s succ...
[Verse 1]
It started in a dream
But it's slowly spilling over
Bursting at the seams
What does it mean?
Ah, someone else was on my mind
And I told you it was you but I was lying (I-I-I was lying)
[Pre-Chorus 1]
And I hate that I'm made this way
Got a lot that I just can't say
I'll bottle it up till my heart of glass starts to break
[Chorus]
I know it's wrong
But when you're gone
The nights are long
I need someone
To hold me when I don't have you
Hold me when I don't have
I know it's wrong
But when you're gone
The nights are long
I need someone
To hold me when I don't have you
It's lonely when I don’t have
You
[Post-Chorus 1]
You, oh, oh
Oh, oh
You
You, oh, oh
Oh, oh
[Verse 2]
I wish I would've called
When I'm low I don't know
I just question the feeling of the fall (Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh)
Someone else was in my head
And it should've been you instead
I'm always hiding, always hiding
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I hate that I just can't change
But I'm building the perfect stranger
I'll cover it up till there's nothing else left to save us (Save us)
[Chorus]
I know it's wrong
But when you’re gone
The nights are long
I need someone
To hold me when I don't have you
Hold me when I don't have
I know it's wrong
But when you're gone
The nights are long
I need someone
To hold me when I don't have you
It's lonely when I don't have
You
[Post-Chorus 2]
You, oh, oh
Oh, oh
You
When I don't have you
Yeah it’s lonely at night when I don’t have you, yeah (You, oh, oh)
When I don’t have you
Yeah, it’s lonely at night when I don’t have you, yeah (Oh, oh)
[Verse 3]
My room is too quiet
So I fill the silence, oh
When I don't have you
Yeah, it’s lonely at night when I don’t have you, yeah
But when you’re beside me
You’re my Aphrodite, oh
When I don't have you
Yeah, it’s lonely at night when I don’t have you, yeah
[Outro]
You
When I don't have you
You, oh, oh
When I don't have you (Don't have you)
(It's lonely when I don't have)
But when you’re beside me
You’re my Aphrodite, oh (You, you, oh, oh)
(Lonely when I don't have you)
(It's lonely when I don't have)
Oh, oh
