While You Were Gone
[Verse 1]
You're back again
I knew that you'd come crawlin'
Standin' there
You still look like a dream
[Pre-Chorus 1]
But I'm reminded of the many times we've played this game before
And I swear I can't believe that you keep comin' back for more
But you wore out the welcome mat last time you slammed the door
Ya can't come back this time
[Chorus]
While you were gone I had some time to think about
The way you did me wrong
Misery and heartache I can do without
Lost your hold on me
While you were gone
[Verse 2]
You rolled the dice
And lost this heart of mine
But you'll pay the price
Somewhere along the line
[Pre-Chorus 2]
If you keep burnin' bridges, breakin' hearts and slammin' doors
'Tryin' to find a way to fill the emptiness of yours
You're gonna find it comes around to what you did before
Your world came crashin' in
[Chorus]
While you were gone I had some time to think about
The way you did me wrong
Misery and heartache I can do without
Lost your hold on me
While you were gone
