Holding Absence – Your Love (Has Ruined My Life) lyrics

[Intro]
It has a certain ring - "Love's a funny thing"

[Verse 1]
You're always watching me everywhere, I know
Moving on is hard when you don't want to let go
Like the homesick Caribou must return to the snow
I'll find you in another life, I hope
And though I'm not religious, I've been shaking hands with Jesus

[Chorus]
When I am finally dead
Maybe I'll come back as someone else
And after all this pain
I can love you in the end
"You're someone I'll find"
It wasn't a lie
And after all this time
Your love has ruined my life
Your love has ruined my life

[Verse 2]
The world is brimming with life, and I'm so alone
My heart is bursting with love, and where does it go?
(Where does it go?)

[Chorus]
When I am finally dead
Maybe I'll come back as someone else
And after all this pain
I can love you in the end
"You're someone I'll find"
It wasn't a lie
And after all this time
Your love has ruined my life

[Post-Chorus]
How can I live my life deprived of your love, of your love?

[Bridge]
Will I ever heal? I just don't know...
But without you, the open world feels so closed
Will I ever heal? I just don't know...
But without you, the open world feels so closed

[Chorus]
When I am finally dead
Maybe I'll come back as someone else
And after all this pain
I can love you in the end
"You're someone I'll find"
It wasn't a lie
After all this time
Your love has ruined my life

[Outro]
Will I ever heal? I just don't know...
But without you, the open world feels so closed
Will I ever heal? I just don't know...
But without you, the open world feels so closed
Your love has ruined my life
