Whilst You're Not Around - Karina Ramage

Crying in silence

Living in pain

Dreading the mornings

All I’ve done was in vain

More disappointment

Than I could ever explain

I have not shed tears yet

But they’re on their way

I should leave these thoughts behind

I just need a little time

Cause you hurt me so

By giving me hope

And then letting me down

Now I’m better while you’re not around

Whilst you’re not around

Leaving my memories

In the back on my mind

Only to recall them

To feel the power of time

It changes your opinion

Makes you have doubts

Whilst I run out of patience

A fire has to burn out

I should leave these thoughts behind

I just need a little time

Cause you hurt me so

By giving me hope

And then letting me down

Now i’m better while you’re not around

Whilst you’re not around

Oh it’s funny isn’t it

The way you’re messing with me

Leaving me to wonder

What you think you need

Why the hell did you make me wait

Like a flower wait for rain

You were my sunshine

Now you’re just a stain of the back of my mind

That I can’t rub away

You’re the scar on the face

Of a wounded soldier

I should leave these thoughts behind

I just need a little time

Cause you hurt me so

By giving me hope

And then letting me down

Now i’m better while you’re not around

Whilst you’re not around
