Absence

If I leave tomorrow, would you be alright?

Would you be filled with sorrow?

Would you put up a fight?

How can I protect you when I don't feel alright?

If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?

Or would you disappear right beside me?

Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?

Lover, please prepare for my absence

If I left the country, would you search and search?

Or would you give up easy and find me in the dirt?

Would I live forever?

Or blend right into earth?

If I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?

Or would you disappear right beside me?

Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?

Lover, please prepare for my absence

Absence makes the heart grow stronger

Pray my baby will not squander everything to gain by my leaving

And if I can return the favor

Pray my baby always savors every moment we were both present

'Cause if I just vanished, do you think you'd manage?

Or would you disappear right beside me?

Do you think you're ready when I go unsteady?

Lover, please prepare for my absence
