i didnt know i was in love with you until you were gone i was just lonely i just needed someone to share my nights with to turn me on i didnt know i was in love with you until you were gone i am not heartless i am not thoughtless but i can be careless as a child i can blow caution in a smoke ring and disappear into the wild but i didnt know about silence until you were gone the last shows over the curtain is drawn i never saw so many sunsets i never saw a single dawn i didnt know about silence until you were gone the record you gave me i put it on the needle didnt jump this time it played the whole song it sang about all it cried about none i didnt know i was in love with you until you were gone
