When You’Re Not Around

When you're not here the room turns cold
Every shadow feels too bold
The clock ticks louder
It taunts my ears
I'm drowning in the quiet
Swallowing fears

When you're not around
Oh
When you're not around
The colors fade
The rhythm drowns
I try to dance but the floor won't move
The samba's lost without your groove

Your laughter lingers like a ghost
A haunting melody I miss the most
The breeze carries whispers
Soft and sly
But they're just echoes of your goodbye

The stars fall flat
The moon won't glow
Without you here
I just don't know

When you're not around
Oh
When you're not around
The samba's silence weighs me down
I call your name but it don't reply
The beat is gone
And I don't know why

Your voice was the drum that held my sway
Your touch was the guitar that made me play
Now the song is broken
The strings all frayed
A hollow tune is all that stayed
