Your Presence
('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
(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
