Absence of You

Maybe I′m learning to love you less
You've said your goodbyes but I haven′t said mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blueAs the cinders feel on memories of you

But I'm okay now
I′ve finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I′ll close 'em for now

And I′m on my way out to Paradise
There's a world away that′s waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free

You′d leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone
Said things like, "I′m out, I′ll be late, don't wait up"
I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine
If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise

But I′m okay now (but I'm okay)
I′ve finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out)
My rosy eyes are tired so I′ll close 'em for now
Close 'em for now

And be on my way out to Paradise (I′m on my way out to Paradise)
There′s a world away that's waiting for me (I know you′ve been waiting)
Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you′re on my mind)
Now the absence of you set me free

And I'm on my way out to Paradise
To a world that′s away waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
Now the absence of you set me free

Oh, the absence of you set me free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh
