20 seconds of loneliness I know it's not been said
For the sleep how close he can when you said it for bad
Underneath I know that window
You find me body my time
Howling an empty hearted
In your absence I unravel
In your absence I am gone
So go easy on this heart
Times of love are for the part
In your absence I unravel
I need you closer
I need you back here in my life
I need you closer
I need you closer
23 rd of loneliness our secret stopped being shared
Walk the streets of my own again I feel laughter in my head
And every face I see is you
These wounds stay up in and run
And every voice I hear is you is you
In your absence I unravel
In your absence I am gone
So go easy on this heart
Times of love are for the part
In your absence I unravel
I need you closer
I need you back here in my life
I need you closer
I need you closer
