Whilst You’re Not Around

Crying in silence
Living in pain
Dreading the mornings
All I’ve done was in vain
More disappointment
Than I could ever explain
I have not shed tears yet
But they're on their way

I should leave these thoughts behind
I just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now I’m better while you’re not around
Whilst you’re not around

Leaving my memories
In the back on my mind
Only to recall them
To feel the power of time
It changes your opinion
Makes you have doubts
Whilst I run out of patience
A fire has to burn out

I should leave these thoughts behind
I just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now i’m better while you’re not around
Whilst you’re not around

Oh it’s funny isn’t it
The way you’re messing with me
Leaving me to wonder
What you think you need
Why the hell did you make me wait
Like a flower wait for rain
You were my sunshine

Now you’re just a stain of the back of my mind
That I can’t rub away
You’re the scar on the face
Of a wounded soldier

I should leave these thoughts behind
I just need a little time
Cause you hurt me so
By giving me hope
And then letting me down
Now i’m better while you’re not around
Whilst you’re not around
