I used to sort of be ashamed to be myself I used to sort of try and hide and try and act like someone else I used to sit alone and cry Sometimes and curse my own reflection, how sad Hearing laughter through the walls, it can't all be that bad They say absence makes the heart grow fonder When we first met it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer ♪ You were hanging at the snooker club and you were acting kind of hyper ♪ You said you'd met the ghosts of Maya Angelou and Rowdy Roddy Piper It's like a cloud was hanging over me Until the day we texted for the first time And the world just got a little brighter They say absence makes the heart grow fonder When we first met it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer They say absence makes the heart grow fonder When we first met it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer When we first met it felt like we'd been friends for so much longer So much longer So much longer So much longer
