It's it's not a matter of
Heaven or hell
Wherever you are I hope you're well
'Cause it's it's been more than ten years now
And I'm still here thinking how you should've stayed
Oh should've stayed
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
I and I will always remember
When I got that call
Almost dropped the phone
To the floor
'Cause how
Could someone so righteous
Throw all their chances away to see a better day
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Handshakes with air
An empty chair
Extra control us since you disappeared
Confused for years
You knew we cared
Running the tightrope you slipped on your tears
And it's almost more than I can bear now
'Cause I'm still here dreaming
If you would've stayed
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
Since you've been away
