Value my absence it’s the quiet I leave Hate my presence I’m the shadow you breathe Meeting someone it’s the spark in your chest A beginning A test Maybe better than the rest Minutes—they’re your need Hours—they’re your trust Weeks build a friendship But love turns to dust Waiting for someone who will not show That’s love baby That’s love you know It’s the ache that keeps you alive But it’s the wound that never survives Counting stars on a ceiling of lies Searching for hope in the cracks of goodbye The clock is a thief stealing dreams from the night But the heart keeps beating Putting up a fight Waiting for someone who will not show That’s love baby That’s love you know It’s the ache that keeps you alive But it’s the wound that never survives Every second feels like forever Yet it’s fleeting Every whisper’s a scream when your heart’s repeating Will they come will they stay will they fade away Love’s the answer but it’s the question every day
