About the work
Lyrics:
how it hurts to be without you
counting days without your smile
all these nights without your arms
losing track of who i am
what i’m doing here at all
why you don’t just appear
from one of those lives
where we were still in love
i’ve gone back to making smoke
for the battles i can’t win
mixing colors for old walls
like some tired, ancient man
in spoleto, all alone
when no one else can see
i still open up that locket
just to look at you and me
[chorus]
’cause it hurts
god, it hurts to be without you
this kind of love won’t fade in time
it cuts right through
like a blade of frozen light
running straight and deep inside
leaving nothing left of me
when you’re not here by my side
it’s been lifetimes now
far too long for us
and i don’t know why today
this grey spring day feels so rough
why the tears come back again
why i’m still here on my own
[chorus]
’cause it hurts
god, it hurts to be without you…
[bridge]
so i look out through the window
tell myself it’s just a day
none of this means anything
no time, no other place
just this guitar in my hands
and my voice calling your name
calling out into the dark
not even sure you’re there
not even sure you’re looking for me
the way i’ve looked for you
through all these lives

Title How it hurts to be without you
Lyrics:
