In The Absence Of The Sun Lyrics - Singles - Duncan Sheik

For all the good you say it does 

Seems no better when you've had your say 

You may believe it's just because 

Words get colder when you've gone away 

I thought I understood what I was to you 

And 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 

'Cause 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 

'Cause you don't wanna feel no pain again 

We just lie about it 

As we become shadows of ourselves 

And I don't wanna look away 

And I don't wanna be the one denied 

It ain't no fault of mine 

If someone somewhere told you lies 

We don't talk about it 

Just become shadows of ourselves 

And we don't talk about it 

Just become shadows of ourselves 

And 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 

'Cause you don't wanna feel no pain again 

We just lie about it 

As we become shadows of ourselves 

And I don't wanna look away 

And I don't wanna be the one denied 

It ain't no fault of mine 

If someone somewhere told you lies 

We don't talk about it 

Just become shadows of ourselves 

We don't talk about it 

We just become shadows of ourselves
