This Is the Thing

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 all over 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
