lyrics

You Were Around

What to say when its over, Not much to believe, And I miss you, I still miss you.
Our days have sunken into night, And I am left alone, Without you, Without you.
Now all you problems won’t escape you, Even if you run away, But it’s over, I’m not over it.

When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes.
When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes...I’m seeing.

Now won’t you sing in time, Won’t you sing with me, Like we use to, Like we use to do.
I saw you left town, Gonna be too far away, Why you leaving, Why you leaving me behind.
I’m standing alone in a desert, To far to recieve from you, All these things you say,
But you won’t come, WITH ME.

When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes.
When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes...I’m seeing.

When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes.
Just come with me. There’s only one way to test our fate...tonight, tonight.
When you were around.
When you were around you didn’t see me in your eyes...Your eyes...I’m seeing.

Now in our time, In our time you told me a lot of lies.
Just an explanation, Is all I want right now, would you mind?
