[Verse 1]
You say there'll be time for us
But your promises turn to dust
When the work is done
I'll be your number one
But time, time, time, time
Time waits for no one

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And in all honesty
This distance is killing me, is killing me

[Chorus 1]
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love

[Verse 2]
You say that next week isn't that far
And I say that I accept who you are
But every time you leave
You lose a piece of me
'Cause time, time, time, time
Waits for nobody

[Pre-Chorus 2]
The lack of stability
Gets old and it triggers me, it triggers me

[Chorus 1]
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love

[Bridge]
Absent love
You know I haven't changed the way I feel
But you know I can't pretend it's no big deal

[Chorus 2]
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love
Do I need you more than you need me? (Tell me baby, absent love)
You make absent love look so easy (I'm not crazy, absent love)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up next to nobody
You make absent love look so easy
Absent love

Marina Lambrini Diamandis, better known as MARINA (formerly Marina and the Diamonds), is a Welsh singer-songwriter and musician.

Growing up in Wales, England and Greece, Marina became “obsessed with becoming a singer, almost as if it was a disease.” After moving to London, it took four years before she established herself as a singer-songwriter. After several independently-released EPs, she placed second on the BBC Sound of 2010 list. In 2010, her debut album, The Family Jewels, was released to critical acclaim and chart success, eventually being certified Gold in the UK.

Her 2012 sophomore album, Electra Heart, was a concept album in which she embraced the titular persona—a vapid, blonde “straight-up pop star” who arose out of her label’s demands for a more commercial pop sound and Marina’s desire to maintain artistic integrity. It became her most successful album, debuting atop the UK, Scotland and Ireland album charts.
