Act of Absence Lyrics

Hey

Speak what's on your mind

I'm listening

Take your time

We'll start with how you've been

It's my hopeless heart

I can't speak what's on my mind

You're listening

Whilst I move the conversation away from everything

I'm so enclosed

I know

But I can't escape sometimes

It's hard to explain

When it's all in my brain

So I'd rather just ignore

But it'll come back again

Not a matter if

Just a matter of when

Still I'll smile like I did before

Hey

You've been here long enough

Why don't you stay

I'll bubblewrap your thoughts

Whilst your mind drifts away

It's my hopeless heart

So I lose track of the days that pass us by

I still cannot express these feelings even if I tried

I'm so enclosed

I know

But I can't escape sometimes

It's hard to explain

When it's all in my brain

So I still just ignore

But it'll come back again

Not a matter if

Just a matter of when

Still I'll smile like I did before

Hey

Speak what's on your mind

I'm listening

Take your time

We'll start with how you've been
