Absence

We used to be you and me
Now I see nothing but pieces
In the memory of us

And every time I say sorry
You act like it's okay
I know that it's not

We don't have real conversations
That gets under my skin
Cause we don't talk
Or listen close

I try to ask how your day's been
Make plans for the weekend
Are we this lost?
Or do the stitches hurt too much?

I feel an absence in your touch
And a distance in your morning lust
Like nobody can mend the two

And there's an absence in your trust
I can hear it in your broken words
I couldn't make it up to you

Still, you loved it
When we'd go visit your parents
A little shopping, do errands
And we'd always laugh
At all the same jokes

But August, had to work late
September, cancel our dates
October, I wasn't home at all

But like a thread goes through a needle
And the needle through my skin
We tried to hide emotions that we couldn't keep within

I know you caught me cheating
By seeing me with her
But you're the one who said it'll work
Now do the stitches hurt too much?

I feel an absence in your touch
And a distance in your morning lust
Like nobody can mend the two

And there's an absence in your trust
I can hear it in your broken words
I couldn't make it up to you

I feel your absence
Your absence, oh
Fell in love a little too late
And now I see the mess I made

Oh absence
You're absent, oh
Can't return the hearts you break
And I made you pay for my mistakes, oh no

I feel an absence in your touch
And a distance in your morning lust
I couldn't make it up to you, no
