Jim Bakkum - Not Around

what am I supposed to say to you?
now I know what you`re up to
lame excuses you use for being gone
girl, I`m not used to living life alone

even though you`re not around
I got the sweetest memories that keep me bound
a source of hope somehow remains
I got this fool in love to blame

tactless friends say life goes on
empty sayings now she`s gone
I couldn`t care less about all the fish in the sea
cause all I need is here company even though you`re not around
I got the sweetest memories that keep me bound
a source of hope somehow remains
I got this fool in love to blame

hello apathy, long time no see
you always know to pick your time of me
but you can`t replace the better half of me
so if you`II excuse me now, you ain`t a friend of mine
now I hold on to what`s left of life
gave up things not worth the strife
and just accept my cold reality
of seperate ways for you and me

even though you`re not around
I got the sweetest memories that keep me bound
a source of hope somehow remains
I got this fool in love to blame
