Better When You’re Not There Lyrics by Vertical Horizon

Go

2003

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
