Absent From You - Eternal

Maybe I misunderstood

I thought I was due a reprove

I don’t want these feelings to end

But why am I lonely in bed

I cried all my tears on my pillow

Feeling ashamed of my fears

Millions of lies you’ve told me

Why can’t I just pretend

Said you had to go

And now I’m missing you

Been away so long

Now I’m missing you

Had to be this way

Still I cry away

Absent from you

As I watched all my friends play

I’m remembering your games

You took another in my place

While I was away you told her you’d stay

Love’s not a game and you ought not to play

Diamonds have never fallen my way

Leave now, just go, keep walking away

You broke my heart in a day

Did it really have to be this way

You upped and left and flew away

And left me with an empty heart

No longer cherishing each night and day

Hoping you’ll be by my side

I don’t want to pretend my heart’s breaking
