Pierce Pettis - You're Not There lyrics

The presence of your absence follows me On trains and at the movies sitting next to empty seats I wouldn't mind you going If the emptiness would leave But the presence of your absence follows me (you're not there) The silence of your voice deafens me The sound of no one answering every time I speak The overwhelming quiet So loud I cannot think The silence of your voice deafens me (you're not there) Heaven and earth could not make your stay I'm damned by your memory that will not go away The softness of your touch The toss of your hair Sometimes I even reach for you But you're not there The thought of your love tortures me Left to my own devices sleeping with the enemy The unexpected flashbacks that I don't want to see The thought of your love tortures me (you're not there) (CHORUS) (You're not there) The presence of your absence follows me (You're not there) The silence of your voice deafens me (You're not there) The thought of your love tortures me You're not there
