Absent - Columbus

I didn’t make it to the airport

I won’t be there when you land

I hope that you don’t think that I was faking sick to get in your head

I didn’t make it to your birthday

Blew out the candles alone

I sent you a letter to make it all better

But no piece of paper replaces those nights at home

I’m sorry I can’t help that I’m never there

I know sometimes I act that I couldn’t care

I promise that I miss you

These teeth just can’t be lied through

I’ll be back in your bed soon, your front room

But in the morning I’ll have to go

Sorry that you didn’t know

I didn’t make it to the goodbye, or when your bags hit the floor

You unpacked your clothes over the floor alone

Wait for a knock on the door

I’m sorry I can’t help that I’m never there

I know sometimes I act that I couldn’t care

I promise that I miss you

These teeth just can’t be lied through

I’ll be back in your bed soon, your front room

But in the morning I’ll have to go

Sorry that you didn’t know

Sorry that you didn’t know

Oh, oh, sometimes I think I’m better off alone

I hate myself and all my skin and bone

Sorry that you didn’t know

You’ll be so much better off

And I’ll just be more hollow

Oh, oh, sometimes I think I’m better off alone

I hate myself and all my skin and bone

Sorry that you didn’t know

You’ll be so much better off

And I’ll just be more hollow

Oh, oh, sometimes I think I’m better off alone

I hate myself and all my skin and bone

Sorry that you didn’t know

You’ll be so much better off

And I’ll just be more hollow

Oh, oh, sometimes I think I’m better off alone

I hate myself and all my skin and bone

Sorry that you didn’t know

You’ll be so much better off

And I’ll just be more hollow
