When I Don't Have You
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
It started in a dream
But it's slowly spilling over
Bursting at the seams
What does it mean?
Someone else was on my mind
And I told it was you but I was lying (I was lying)
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
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, you, woah, woah
Oh, you, you, woah, woah, oh
I wish I would've called
When I'm low I don't know
I just question the feeling of the fall
Someone else was in my head
And it should've been you instead
I'm always hiding, always hiding
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)
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, you, woah, woah
You, woah, woah, oh
You (when I don't have you)
You, woah, woah (yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you)
Oh (when I don't have you)
Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you
My room is too quiet
So I fill the silence
When I don't have you
Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you
But when you're beside me
You're my Aphrodite, oh
When I don't have you
Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you
You (when I don't have you)
You, woah, woah (when I don't have you)
You (but when you're beside me you're my Aphrodite, oh)
You, woah, woah, oh
