The Presence of Your Absence Lyrics

In the presence of your absence

Gray light keeps leaking through the door

And I'll try to block it out

But this time it's coming down way worse than before

And in the presence of your absence

I no longer wear the mask of love

No longer drunk off your aroma

I have to face things straight on

So when you're feeling homesick

I just hope you notice

That empty space beside you

Just know that it resides by me too

But I'm not bulletproof, and you shot straight through

And in the presence of your absence

To be honest, you know I tried

But if there's one thing I realized

The saddest songs are ones you never write

So when you're feeling homesick

I just hope you notice

That empty space beside you

Just know that it resides by me too

But I'm not bulletproof, and you shot straight through

So when you're feeling homesick

I just hope you notice

That empty space beside you

Just know that it resides by me too

But I'm not bulletproof, and you shot straight through

In the presence of your absence

I crossed lines I'd never cross

I'm starting to think maybe it was a good thing

Maybe, everything's not lost
