While you were gone
The phone still rang, the bus still came
And everything remained the same, while you were gone


While, you were gone
I watched my face

I rearrange my books and things
Just for a change
While you were gone


You tried to hide yourself away
You tried to hide yourself away

You tried to hide yourself away
But no one came


While you were gone
Sleeping at his place
Kissing his face

The blood in his veins, pumping for a change
While you were gone


You tried to hide yourself away
You tried to hide yourself away
You tried to hide yourself away

But no one came

Under blankets and under bed

All the boys and girls with their troubled heads
And the fairy tales that your momma preaches
But oh oh oh oh

Under blankets and under beds
All the boys and girls with their troubled heads
And the fairy tales that your momma preaches

But oh oh oh oh
But oh oh oh oh
But oh oh oh oh
