"When I'm Not There" lyrics

"When I'm Not There"

All night long, cold sweat stains
Stare at the ceiling as if there was somebody there

I start to wonder
What you do when I'm not there
'Cause I've been calling,
But I stopped hearing from my friends
Did you think I'd forget?

Twist my words every time
Lie all along and you know I won't know it's a lie
And I remember what you said when I was there
It never happened like the way you said it did
Did you think I'd forget?

Whoa oh oh oh oh...

I thought I saw you
Outside my window last night
It's lucky for you
A shadow fled from the flashlight
I'll have to wonder how you look without your teeth
The hollow smile
The two-tipped tongue inside your cheek
I never loved you
I never trusted you at all
The stars above you
Are shining down upon us all
I hope you never forget
