The first track we wrote together. Jemma heard a track of Nikkis and couldn't NOT write a melody to match.
lyrics
Don't want to quit, or say goodbye
I wont admit I'm not alright.
I just need you to say goodnight.
And every time we say hello
I just cant bear to let you go,
It's just not something you should know.
But when you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything to me
Share your dreams.
I want to be your ecstasy
and hold your hand while walking in the dark.
But you're not here.
You fill my night with glitter-stars
And when you're gone, don't go too far.
I want to be right where you are.
I'll keep you close to me, my dear.
When I'm in pain, or filled with fear
In my heart, I draw you near.
I can't tell you you have my heart
Cos this can't end if it can't start
And I can't bear to be apart.
When you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything to me
Share your dreams.
I want to be your ecstasy
and hold your hand while walking in the dark.
But you're not here.
Mmm... you're not here.
I'll sit down in this lonely town.
You're not around.
I'll lean my back against the door,
but you're not in there anymore.
I'll lay down in this empty bed
thoughts of you running through my head.
I'll close my eyes and go to sleep
so the memories, I keep.
When you're not here I can hardly face the day
When you're not here I will wait for you to say
Anything.
