Lyrics
When You're Not Around
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.
When you're not around I get lonely though you always laugh at such things
When you're not around I am only a puppet with no one to pull the string
I can't help but worry about you you're all the happiness I found
I love you so my heart goes where you go and I'm lonely when you're not around
When you're not around I get lonely and the hours pass more slowly than years
When you're not around you can't see me
And I'm glad cause then you can't see my tears
I'm so afraid of the shadows afraid of every sound
I love you so my heart goes where you go and I'm lonely when you're not around
Oh I love you so my heart goes where you go and I'm lonely when you're not around
