They'll Only Miss You When You Leave

Not another sunrise another

Another dry stale taste in your mouth

You walked away from waking up

Inside the house

Depending on the calm

You've been waiting for

Thoughts spark a song

You loved so long ago

You can hear it now

They'll only miss you when you leave

So you try and stay awake

You just might be the love in their eyes

When they've subtracted all the times you sat there

Trying not to say goodbye, goodbye

Telephones and postcards with misshaped hearts beside

The names

I've read this letter for the hundredth time today

I've rearranged, analyzed the words

Tried to find something between the lines that wasn't

There

At least now I can see through these worn out lines and

Torn up pages,

Don't know how I'll fall asleep tonight

Outside the window, awful weather

The storm will slowly close in on me

When it's time to leave

When it's time to leave

When it's time to leave

Worn out lines and torn up pages

Don't know how I'll fall asleep tonight

Outside the window, awful weather

The storm will slowly close in on me

When it's time to leave

When it's time to leave
