Lyrics
When You're Not There
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's the pretty little way you hold your head
It's like the sanity is hanging on a thread
The flesh is cold underneath your nails
And the look you give, it never fails
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there
It's the interesting way, it fills my brain
It's been done by others, but never the same
I love it when you hurt me and crack a smile
The best is when you make it last a while (last a while)
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there
Can't seem to get away
This ghost I'll never find
It haunts me 'til this day
I can't get back my mind
I love the way you hurt me
I love that you don't care
My love is dark and twisted
And I scream when you're not there
