Booker T. Jones - Bad Silence lyrics

Hey Alexis [Verse 1: Charlie Hayley] I been thinking bout what would've happened if we got together And then we would've had what half a year before u fled this weather I know it wasn't your choice but still Halfway across the world, the thought makes me ill I'll prolly never see you again, in the dark I'm bumpin' Power trip, thinkin that your final trip is f**in Bad for me because my Psyche's beaten and I Wish I could've told you before you decided to say bye We haven't even talked in weeks Wish I could feel your fingers on my cheeks Well it's probably a good thing I never told you how I felt Cause you were movin regardless, I prolly would've went through hell If i had you then I lost you, funny how that turns out, right So I guess I'll thank the heavens That me and you never turned out right [Hook] Ain't no sunshine when she's gone It's not warm when she's away Ain't no sunshine when she's gone She's always gone too long anytime she goes away Hey. This is for you. Not Alexis. You [Verse 2: Charlie Hayley] There was once this girl, I called her bad silence For reasons you'll never figure out, so stop trying And while we're at it, I could never figure her For crying out loud, I could only finger her Chill, I'm talking middle finger pointed at her back I'm talking wounded ego, pride is never intact I'm drowning when I see her, and as a matter of fact The last time I seen her was six months in the past Ask me, why I still haven't surfaced Why I still feel like I'm drowning, and my life has no purpose And my existence is worthless And my brain thinks in cursive And my mouth thinks in curses, I trace it all back to her My heart couldn't be warmed if I was wearing fur See it's not like them other girls, with them it's straight dismissal But see bad silence, she hit me like a missile She was always a mystery, throughout our brief history I tried to get close to her, but she would talk listlessly Acting uninterested, and it prolly wasn't acting Something was clouding her face, and that sh** wasn't acne Something was f**ed up, something was wrong see This was half a year ago, yet that sh** still haunts me And until, they close my eyelids I'll remember, you bad silence [Refrain] Ain't no sunshine when she's gone Only darkness every day Ain't no sunshine when she's gone And this house just ain't no home anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away Anytime she goes away
