Lyrics

Presence of Your Absence

I left you standing by the side of the road
Drowning alone in an ocean of grey
Heart like a stone, your mind heavy with the load
Weapons in your eyes as I drove away

I'll see your face in a candle flame
Try to look away while praying for rain
I'll forget you come morning despite
The presence of your absence every night

I tried to give you nothing but tenderness
There was so much about you to please me
I looked beyond all the pain and brokenness
But loving you was not that easy

REPEAT CHORUS

One thing that I've learned that you never knew
You just can't make somebody love you

REPEAT CHORUS

REPEAT CHORUS
