You're Not Around

I can see the way you're hurting me
It's hard not to wish this for you
And I can see the laughter won't repeat
How can I fill the place you refused

Your weakness for weak men to me is a strange kind of thirst
He'll whisper your words back to you if you'll just say them first

I know I can last
But I don't think it matters
(You're not around)
Yesterday's news getting older and older
(You're not around)
I know I can last but I don't think it matters
(You're not around)

I locked the door
I'm sinking through the floor
By dawn, I will hardly be here
Memory swells and fills the empty shelves
But at least I am no longer scared

'Cause I only worried myself about keeping you here
So thank you for making my worries all disappear

I know I can last
But I don't think it matters
(You're not around)
Yesterday's news getting older and older
(You're not around)
I know I can last but I don't think it matters
(You're not around)

I know
I know
I know (You're not around)
You're not gonna be around again
It's yesterday's news (You're not around)
I know I can last
I know I'm gonna last
But (You're not around)
Yesterday's news getting older and older
(You're not around)
You're not gonna be around again
Woo-ooh-ooh-ooh
(You're not around)
