Lyrics
This place seems so empty
with just the cats and me
I never thought your presence
could leave a refugee
But you cannot hear what I'm saying
Ten thousand miles away
(CHORUs)
If I told you I loved you
What would it mean?
and what kind of tears would you cry?
If I'd gave you a reason
to stay here with me
Would you have still said goodbye?
Scavenging love from the TV
pretending I'm someone you miss
I'm grateful that you cannot see me
Though it might be some kind of justice
But you'll never know what I'm thinking
Cause I was too prideful to say...
(CHORUS)
Tell me stories about, how you can't live without me
Tell me the stories...
(CHORUS)
