the sun is coming up
i don't sleep near enough
i need to fill my brain with something
other than the pain

i know that you are gone
i cannot hear your song
ringing in my ears and drowning
me to tears

not to say i'm glad you're gone
not to say i would ever want you back
not to say i could've been
better than i should've been
but i make up for what you lack

the stars were out last night
the moon was full and bright
but i'd forgotten what a view there is
here away from you

not to say i'm glad you're gone
not to say that i would even want you here
not to say i needed you
to crush my heart and be a fool
or do it more throughout the years

want to call you up
want to know that you're alright
it isn't that i really care
i just want to know that she's not there
cause i know that she was there last night
i know that she was there last night
i know cause i saw her there last night

not to say i'm glad you're gone
not to say that i would ever want you back
not to say i could've been
better than i should've been
but i make up for what you lack
