In your absence,
I’ve finally become fond of myself again
In Your Absence
A place in the heart,
May forever be
A place where our love was
All of the nights gone by won’t be the forgotten ones
Exposed,
Cold lies to the truth
A forgotten face,
Forgot how to live in this broken place
Halls trace my bitterness,
Sleep still haunts me
I’ve become the lion in the cage,
As I’m surrounded,
Surrender
Forgot how to leave this broken place
In your absence,
I’ve grown apart from myself
I don’t even blame you anymore
In your absence I’ve found the silence deafening
How could she ever know?
That I was the reason that you had to go
Stockholm,
I’m not locking you up
But I’m locking down
I fall in love with every stranger I see now
Thinking that they will always be the ones to hurt me
Hoping that the ones I know will never be the ones to go
A place in the world,
I’ve buried my fears of living through self control
Holes of our halves
And I think I’m the crazy one
In your absence,
I’ve finally become fond of myself again
In this void,
I’ve finally found myself again
Living in the fear of never seeing you again
And how somehow that would hurt less
But in your absence
I’ve grown fonder,
I’ve gone longer,
Become a better man
And a better father
I gave myself another chance
Standing strong at a taller stance
Forgiven myself and forgiven others
In your absence I’ve become lost again
But I found my way up,
And I let go of the pictures of you
I’ve let go of the the things that we had
For me it wasn’t easy
Because of you, I’ve become me
