When I'm Not Around

When I'm not around
 A given chance to really be what you are
 Will see you last
 Or turn to dust
 When I'm not around
 Think of the ones who have loved you the most
 Stand up for their pride
 Breathe in their sweet life
 And when you've gone
 Further away
 I will be calling to you
 Send you a line
 With all I can say
 So you'll remember me too
 And help me believe
 That we're always safe
 And perfectly sound
 Anytime
 I'm not around
 Injury's dark
 And pain is a place where my follow cannot
 Break into the stride
 These steps have been tried
 Send someone to shed
 All the unwanted
 All the unwanted
 And when you've gone
 Further away
 I will be calling to you
 Send you a line
 With all I can say
 So you'll remember me too
 And help me believe
 That we're always safe
 And perfectly sound
 Anytime
 I'm not around
 If you've got secrets to hide
 Feel the truth would be unkind
 I love you anyway
