I don't know if you notice anything different   It's getting dark and it's getting cold and the nights are getting long   And I don't know if you even notice at all   That I'm long gone      And the things that keep us apart   Keep me alive   And the things that keep me alive   Keep me alone   This is the thing      I don't know if you notice anything missing   Like the leaves on the trees or my clothes on the floor   And I don't know if you even notice at all   'Cause I was real quiet when I closed the door      And the things that keep us apart   Keep me alive   And the things that keep me alive   Keep me alone   This is the thing      And I don't know if you notice anything different   I don't know if you even notice at all      This is the thing
