You’re Not Around

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I can see the way you're hurting me It's hard not to wish this for you And I can see the laughter won't repeat How can I fill the place you refused [Pre-Chorus 1] Your weakness for weak men to me is a strange kind of thirst He'll whisper your words back to you if you'll just say them first [Chorus] I know I can last But I don't think it matters (You're not around) Yesterday's news getting older and older (You're not around) I know I can last but I don't think it matters (You're not around) [Verse 2] I locked the door I'm sinking through the floor By dawn, I will hardly be here Memory swells and fills the empty shelves But at least I am no longer scared [Pre-Chorus 2] 'Cause I only worried myself about keeping you here So thank you for making my worries all disappear [Chorus] I know I can last But I don't think it matters (You're not around) Yesterday's news getting older and older (You're not around) I know I can last but I don't think it matters (You're not around) [Outro] I know I know I know (You're not around) You're not gonna be around again It's yesterday's news (You're not around) I know I can last I know I'm gonna last But (You're not around) Yesterday's news getting older and older (You're not around) You're not gonna be around again Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh (You're not around)
