In the Absence of Sun

For all the good you say it does

It seems no better when you've had your say

You may believe it's just because

The words get colder when you've gone away

I thought I understood

What I was to you

I don't want to feel this way, no

I don't want to say I'm just a friend

I don't want to wait around here

'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again

We just lie about it

As we become shadows of ourselves

Some may fear committed lives

I sure am one of them without you

Does it come to you as some surprise

I laid the ground beneath to doubt you?

Was it ever, girl

Something you could hold?

I don't want to feel this way, no

I don't want to say I'm just a friend

I don't want to wait around here

'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again

We just lie about it

As we become shadows of ourselves

And I don't want to look away

And I don't want to be the one denied

It ain't no fault of mine

If someone, somewhere told you lies

But we don't talk about it

We just become shadows of ourselves

We don't talk about it

We just become shadows of ourselves

Ah-ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

Ah-ah-ah, ah

And I don't want to feel this way, no

I don't want to say I'm just a friend

I don't want to wait around here

'Cause you don't want to feel no pain again

We just lie about it

As we become shadows of ourselves

And I don't want to look away

And I don't want to be the one denied

It ain't no fault of mine

If someone, somewhere told you lies

But we don't talk about it

We just become shadows of ourselves

We don't talk about it

We just become shadows of ourselves
