When You're Not There
Yearning in Absence: Niall Summerton's Melancholic Reflections
Lyrics
I couldn't tell you
I am unable to express or articulate to you
What makes the light come on so bright
What causes the light to shine so brightly
What am I made of when you're not there?
What constitutes my essence or identity in your absence?
I don't like calling
I prefer not to make phone calls
I don't like speaking on the phone
I dislike conversing over the phone
You know I hate it
You are aware that I strongly dislike it
When you're not there
I find it difficult when you are not present
Close my eyes tonight
As I close my eyes tonight
There's a hole inside my heart
There is an emptiness within my heart
I shouldn't notice
I am not supposed to notice or pay attention
I shouldn't listen all the time
I am not supposed to listen all the time
What am I hearing when you're not there?
What am I perceiving or understanding when you are not present?
I couldn't hold it
I couldn't endure or bear it
I couldnt hang around too long
I couldn't remain present for an extended period
I couldn't stand it
I couldn't tolerate it
When you're not there
It is challenging for me when you are absent
Close my eyes tonight
As I close my eyes tonight
There's a hole inside my heart
There is an emptiness within my heart
