Lyrics
Absent Love
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.
You say there'll be time for us
But your promises turn to dust
When the work is done
I'll be your number one
But time, time, time, time
Time waits for no one
And in all honesty
This distance is killing me, is killing me
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love
You say that next week isn't that far
And I say that I accept who you are
But every time you leave
You lose a piece of me
'Cause time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody
The lack of stability
Gets old and it triggers me, it triggers me
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love
Absent love
You know I haven't changed the way I feel
But you know I can't pretend it's no big deal
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me baby, absent love)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy, absent love)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
