When I'm Not Around - Iris

When I’m not around

A given chance to really be what you are

Will see you last

Or turn to dust

When I’m not around

Think of the ones who have loved you the most

Stand up for their pride

Breathe in their sweet life

And when you’ve gone

Further away

I will be calling to you

Send you a line

With all I can say

So you’ll remember me too

And help me believe

That we’re always safe

And perfectly sound

Anytime

I’m not around

Injury’s dark

And pain is a place where my follow cannot

Break into the stride

These steps have been tried

Send someone to shed

All the unwanted

All the unwanted

And when you’ve gone

Further away

I will be calling to you

Send you a line

With all I can say

So you’ll remember me too

And help me believe

That we’re always safe

And perfectly sound

Anytime

I’m not around

If you’ve got secrets to hide

Feel the truth would be unkind

I love you anyway
