Lyrics to Absent

[Intro]

I wasn't trying to be alone

I wasn't trying to be alone

(To be alone, to be alone)



[Verse 1]

I wasn't trying to be alone

You took those words out of my mouth, you know

You blow it up, and said all I do is bring you down

Look there's the door, I don't need you anymore

I never noticed how bad you were

Like leading different lives until capture

You build me up, said everything was perfect now

Cut to the chase, I was never with the word



[Chorus]

It always happens, that I'm left hurting

Rather be absent, than feel like a burden

You draw me close, just enough to make me hang around

Rather be absent, rather be absent



[Verse 2]

I wasn't trying to be a ghost

You drained the life right out of me, you know

You shut me out, would say I never come around

I don't care, I don't need you anymore



[Chorus]

It always happens, that I'm left hurting

Rather be absent, than feel like a burden

You draw me close, just enough to make me hang around

Rather be absent, rather be absent



[Bridge]

It always happens

It always happens

It always happens

It always happens

It always happens, that I'm left hurting

Rather be absent, than feel like a burden

It always happens, that I'm left hurting

Rather be absent, rather be absent



[Chorus]

It always happens, that I'm left hurting

Rather be absent, than feel like a burden

You draw me close, just enough to make me hang around

Rather be absent, rather be absent
