Absent Lovers

from A Thousand Points of Light by Eden

lyrics

I wanna believe
You’re doing the best you can
I wanna believe
You’re being a better man
Without testing the waters
You know that you oughta
Before you’re in too deep
And how you deceive
Within the killer smile
The way you just creep beneath the skin of the wanting kind
It makes you grow higher
What you sow is what you reap

I pray for absent lovers
And the legacy of truth
And the lighting of these fires
That always lead to you
You can’t help someone recover
From the liberties you take
From the liberties you take

I wanna believe
I’d never been a jealous kind
I’m watching you leave
Without a care you left behind
A world torn asunder
Leaving me under
Bleeding on the floor
The weight of your words
They still ring a hollow sound
The way that you hurt
And the emptiness I found
Addicted to heartache
You just leave me wanting more

I pray for absent lovers
And the legacy of truth
And the lighting of these fires
That always lead to you
You can’t help someone recover
From the liberties you take
From the liberties you take

I pray for absent lovers
And the legacy of truth
And the lighting of these fires
That always lead to you
You can’t help someone recover
From the liberties you take
From the liberties you take

The circle will turn some lonely night
Everything you own slips out of sight
Holding on to air no matter how you try
The cross you bear will wear you down
Your stories foil on hollowed ground
Your inner screams won’t make no sound
When I’m not around
When I’m not around

There’s no way
I pray for absent lovers
And the legacy of truth
And the lighting of these fires
That always lead to you
You can’t help someone recover
From the liberties you take
From the liberties you take
I pray for absent lovers
And the lighting of these fires
You can’t help someone recover
No
No
