When I'm Not Around Video (MV)

I called your phone, leave a message at the tone, but
The words are failing me
I just can't bring myself to say
What I've said for days and days
'Cause I'm not one for greed
And by now I ought to know
We're miles apart, nowhere to go
You've made that picture clear
So I'm giving what you want
My bags are packed and in the trunk
And I'll be getting out of here
But can you ask yourself this, dear?
Who was there when you fell down
To lift you off the cold hard ground
To guard the closet door when
All your monsters came around
And now
Who'll be there to keep these walls from crashing down
When I'm not around?
When I'm not around
The envelopes, with the letters that you wrote
Where are those words now?
When I was reaching out my hand
And offered you this olive branch
You snapped and then threw out?
But this isn't just my fight alone
'Cause you and I both wrote this song
Change ain't some one-way street
And I stood tall amidst the storm
I built a shelter and kept it warm
But it's your choice to join me
And can you ask yourself, at least
Who was there when you fell down
To lift you off the cold hard ground
To guard the closet door when
All your monsters came around
And now
Who'll be there to keep these walls from crashing down
When I'm not around?
When I'm not around
Who was there when you fell down
To lift you off the cold hard ground
To guard the closet door when
All your monsters came around
And now
Who'll be there to keep these walls from crashing down
When I'm not around?
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
When I'm not around
