Lyrics In the Absence of Sun - Duncan Sheik

In the Absence of Sun

For all the good you say it does
It seems no better when you had your say
You may believe and it’s just because
The words get colder when you’re gone away
I thought I understood
What I was to you
I don’t wanna feel this way, no
I don’t wanna say I’m just a friend
I don’t wanna wait around here
'Cos you don’t wanna feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves
Some may fear committed lives
I sure am one of them, without you
Does it come to you as some surprise?
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you
Was it ever girl
Something you could hold?
I don’t wanna feel this way, no
I don’t wanna say I’m just a friend
I don’t wanna wait around here
'Cos you don’t wanna feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves
I don’t wanna look away
I don’t wanna be the one denied
It ain’t no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don’t talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
We don’t talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
I don’t wanna feel this way, no
I don’t wanna say I’m just a friend
I don’t wanna wait around here
'Cos you don’t wanna feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves
I don’t wanna look away
I don’t wanna be the one denied
It ain’t no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
We don’t talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
We don’t talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
