When I Don't Have You

It started in a dream

But it's slowly spilling over

Bursting at the seams

What does it mean?

Ah, someone else was on my mind

And I told it was you but I was lying (I-I-I was lying)

And I hate that I'm made this way

Got a lot that I just can't say

I'll bottle it up till my heart of glass starts to break

I know it's wrong but when you're gone

The nights are long

I need someone

To hold me when I don't have you

Hold me when I don't have

I know it's wrong but when you're gone

The nights are long

I need someone

To hold me when I don't have you

It's lonely when I don't have

You

You, woah, woah

You

You, woah, woah

I wish I would've called

When I'm low I don't know

I just question the feeling of the fall

Someone else was in my head

And it should've been you instead

I'm always hiding, always hiding

And I hate that I just can't change

But I'm building the perfect stranger

I'll cover it up till there's nothing else left to save us (save us)

I know it's wrong, but when you're gone

The nights are long

I need someone

To hold me when I don't have you

Hold me when I don't have

I know it's wrong but when you're gone

The nights are long

I need someone

To hold me when I don't have you

It's lonely when I don't have

You

You, woah, woah

You (when I don't have you)

You, woah, woah (yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you)

(when I don't have you)

Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you

My room is too quiet

So I fill the silence

When I don't have you

Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you

But when you're beside me

You're my Aphrodite, oh

When I don't have you

Yeah, it's a lonely night when I don't have you

You (when I don't have you)

You, woah, woah (when I don't have you)

You (but when you're beside me you're my Aphrodite, oh)
