Your Presence Lyrics

('Cause I'm back and blue)

(I don't know what to do)

(My hearts in two)

(And you are lost)

We met in the middle of July

Though it wasn't quite the first

Your voice was sickeningly sweet

Your sentences rehearsed

Your scarf sits under my bed

I'll never give it back

You don't deserve the words you took

The warmth you'll always lack

'Cause I love your presence not the person

I'm always second place

I love the comfort, love the care

But I can't stand your face

'Cause I'm black and blue

I don't know what to do

My heart's in two

And you are lost

I'd sell my mind

I'd leave it all behind

But I was deaf and blind

To your cost

I'm going 120 down the highway

I can't see what's ahead

'Cause I'd prefer to crash and burn

Than admit I'm wrong instead

'Cause I love your presence not the person

You're always first in sight

And I know that I'm not worthy

But that doesn't make you right

'Cause I'm black and blue

I don't know what to do

My heart's in two

And you are lost

I'd sell my mind

I'd leave it all behind

But I was deaf and blind

To your cost

Desperate and hopeful ignored the signs

Like the lie I lived along

All I had to lose was dignity

But again you proved me wrong

'Cause I am black and blue

I know what I've got to do

I don't want to

But you won't compromise

My life was yours to claim

My power and my fame

You'll always be the same

Your presence and your lies
