Better When You're Not There

It's good to see your face in the morning

It helps me to face the day

I see you lighting candles as I turn away

I want you, I need you

In a way that confuses me

But it's good to hold you

But it's better when you're not there

It's better when you're not there

It's better when I don't care

About the things you say

In the world's worst way

It's better when you're not there

But somehow it waits till the morning

I feel your eyes on me

It's a such a perfect moment

It almost sets me free

I wanted to keep you holding

In while you're pulling away

It's good to know you

But it's better when you're not there

It's better when you're not there

It's better when I don't care

About the things you say

In the world's worst way

It's better when you're not there

It's better when you're not there

It's good to see your face in the picture

It's amazing what I miss

It's always right in the moment

When you're colored by your kiss

I wanted to tell you

There are times when I think of your face

It's good to know you

But it's better you're not there

It's better when you're not there

It's better when I don't care

About the things you say

In the worlds worst way

It's better when you're not there

It's better when you're not there
