When I'm Not Around Lyrics

Iris 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
