It calls to me, the dials in the dead room
Where I wish to be, all the time, with you.
But you're not there, so grows my sorrow
and I'm here, morrow after morrow
But you're not here, next to me
and you're not here, and i'm living in misery.
Day to day, we all go through this life.
End to end, to win this fight.
But there not there, so grows your sorrow
and i'm here, morrow after morrow
But you're not here, next to me
and you're not here, and i'm living in misery.
You lift me up, you push me around
You throw me up, you pull me down.
As you tie the noose around.
Well slow I fall, I'm falling down
My feet stop, oh they don't, don't touch the ground.
I lose my crown.
Because you're not here, next to me
and you're not here, and i'm living in misery.
