Sheik, Duncan - In The Absence Of The Sun Lyrics






For all the good you say it does
It seems no better when you had your say
You may believe its just because
Words get colder when you've gone away
I thought I understood
What I was to you

I don't want to feel this way no
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
Cause you don't want to 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 lay the ground beneath to doubt you
Was it ever, girl, something you could hold

I don't want to feel this way no
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
Cause you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone somewhere told you lies
We don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
We don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves

I don't want to feel this way no
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
Cause you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone somewhere told you lies
We don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves
We don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves

    In The Absence Of Sun
    Duncan Sheik
    Orchestra: The London Sessions Orchestra

    For all the good you say it does
    It seems no better when you've had your say
    You may believe in just because
    The words get colder when you've gone away

    I thought I understood
    What I was to you

    I don't want to feel this way, no
    I don't want to say I'm just a friend
    I don't want to wait around here
    'Coz you don't want to 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 want to feel this way, no
    I don't want to say I'm just a friend
    I don't want to wait around here
    'Coz you don't want to feel no pain again
    We just lie about it
    As we become shadows of ourselves

    I don't want to look away
    I don't want to be the one denied
    It ain't no fault of mine
    Someone, somewhere told you lies
    We don't talk about it
    We just become shadows of ourselves

    We don't talk about it
    We just become shadows of ourselves

    I don't want to feel this way, no
    I don't want to say I'm just a friend
    I don't want to wait around here
    'Coz you don't want to feel no pain again
    We just lie about it
    As we become shadows of ourselves

    I don't want to look away
    I don't want to be the one denied
    It ain't no fault of mine
    Someone, somewhere told you lies
    We don't talk about it
    We just become shadows of ourselves

    We don't talk about it
    We just become shadows of ourselves
