When You're Not Here

[Verse] The moonlight flickers on an empty chair, Silent echoes whisper you're not fair, Cigarette smoke curls in the midnight air, Lonely shadows dance, but you're not there. [Verse 2] The vinyl spins, but the needle skips, Your laughter lingers on my trembling lips, Whiskey melts like ice on fingertips, Heartbeat slows, love's sweet eclipse. [Chorus] When you're not here, the night's too long, Every note feels like a sorrowful song, The glamour fades, the world feels wrong, When you're not here, I don't belong. [Bridge] Streetlights cast a gloomy glow, Jazz in the air, but the tempo's slow, The bar's closed up, got nowhere to go, Only memories left—the echo of your soft hello. [Verse 3] Old piano keys are out of tune, Nothing but shadows in this dingy room, Your perfume lingers, a ghostly bloom, Life's a dirge beneath a hollow moon. [Chorus] When you're not here, the night's too long, Every note feels like a sorrowful song, The glamour fades, the world feels wrong, When you're not here, I don't belong.
