In your absence
I lost my innocence
I lost the part of me that was me
I lost the part of me that could see
Between wrong and right
Truth and lies
Hellos and goodbyes
This isn't where I'm meant to be
These aren't the things I was supposed to see
These things I want to forget
I need to stop living in regret
This is where I am
This is where I ended up
My mind is blurred
Can't take in your words
Can't believe what I've heard
Everything is changing
Your life is rearranging
But I'm being left behind
Doubt doesn't cross your mind
Because that's where I'm meant to be
Not someone who's supposed to see
But I was there when you were broken
To hear every word spoken
To hold you while you were sad
To be used when you were mad
But now I have to stay here
You've made your views on that very clear
I'm lost in your eyes
Just let me see you smile
Keep it in my memory forever
Remember when times get bad
In moments that I'm sad
She'll think you're smooth
But I know your every move
You'll sing a song
It'll catch her heart
I know that part
You'll use your talent
She won't see you're unbalanced
You'll be sweet, you'll be kind
She doesn't know what she'll find
I know that part
Because I wasn't that smart
I kept going
Kept throwing myself in
Shouldn't have let myself begin
