I think it's fate that I discovered this song when I can say that I am finally healed from my last breakup. It's so refreshing and full of hope despite the bittersweetness of it. Truly the absence of them makes you appreciate your OWN presence better.
lyrics: Maybe i'm learning to love you less You're say you're goodbyes but i haven't set mine yet I laid down in the fires and watched them turn blue As the cinders fell on memories of you But i'm okey now I've finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired So i'll close them for now And i'm on my way out to paradise There's a world away that's waitting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you sets me free You'd leave me notes 'round the house Then you're gone Said things like i'm out I'll be late, don't wait up I let you keep your distance But i hated keeping mine If you love me you would learn to compromise But i'm okey now I've finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired So i'll close them for now (close em for now) And be on my way out to paradise There's a world away that's waitting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you sets me free And i'm on my way out to paradise To a world away that's waitting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you sets me free ~ Now the absence of you sets me free ~ oh the absence of you sets me free ohhh ~~~~
This song came out just as I ended a 2 year relationship. Everytime I listen to it it's such a bittersweet feeling. I perfectly reminisce all of the good moments we had yet I understand that to grow we needed to break up. The grieving process is difficult but this song makes me feel like things will be okay. I hope that we're both moving on to greater avenues where we'll find fulfillment in our lives once more. I miss him, and I am so thankful for our time together. Now I will do my best to be happy for myself.
The feeling of slowly but surely learning to accept things as they are as much as you wish they were the opposite because you’ve done your best and nothing can change the situation since it takes two. From time to time you find yourself slipping back into that space where you miss them and want to reach out to them to try just one more time but you force yourself not to as much as it hurts you all for the best. When you dream about them randomly and all the memories come flooding back in and you’re back to getting yourself out of that space where you once worked so hard to get out of.
Listening to this song on repeat after finally letting the person I love go. I really wanted to be with him always,however as much as I'm happy whenever I talk to him I'm twice as sad and hurt when he would ignore me for hours,give me false hope and make me overthink everyday. I was actually surprised that I didn't cry after ending things with him,I thought that was because I cried too much that I can't anymore but it was because I'm relieved. I don't have to worry and overthink anymore,I don't have to cry every night and I don't have to look like a fool waiting for him every time. It feels like a heavy burden has finally been lifted. Thank you for this wonderful song,Grent! :)
@@bnx-7955 tbh I also don't know because I tried leaving him for how many times alr but I kept failing, maybe I really just got tired of it. Despite how many times my friends tell me to rest and let go I just can't. I'm glad they're here for me tho^^ I hope you'll find your courage too:) sending hugs
Oh, same im in the same situation as well. And i hope that both of you are now doing great and happy, i cheer for your happy ending and also for a year of self love.
I don't think I've ever cried at a song so damn quickly. I felt every lyric straight to the heart, thank you for making this song it's so inspiring and almost theraputic to listen to having felt this same way. Love you Grant keep doing what you're doing
LYRICS: Maybe I'm learning to love you less You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue As the cinders feel on memories of you But I'm okay now I've finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now And I'm on my way out to Paradise There's a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up" I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise But I'm okay now (but I'm okay) I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out) My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now Close 'em for now And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise) There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting) Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind) Now the absence of you set me free And I'm on my way out to Paradise To a world that's away waiting for me Waves always break when you're on my mind Now the absence of you set me free Now the absence of you set me free Oh, the absence of you set me free Oh, oh Oh, oh
I remember stumbling upon the first version of this song while browsing through your channel a while back and this song really resonated with the situation I was in during the time and helped me power through and realize that things weren’t all so bad and to focus on the present instead of dwelling in the past. It’s still nothing but love for her and I wish her the best. Thank you Grent for this gosh damn amazing song, it helped me a lot ❤️
she storied this song after we broke, we talked, said goodbyes. she moved on and is now with someone she deserves, I still love her, I do but I wish her the best. I'm glad she's finally happy now. She moved on but I'm still healing, I thank her for introducing me this masterpiece. Thank you Q, I love u.
I am in love with this girl but I think it’s just a one sided relationship. And my circumstances don’t help either. We’re students getting ready for college and she lives few cities away and I don’t think this relationship will ever develop into anything serious. I am trying hard to accept that she’s just gonna be my friend and this song is really helping a lot. Thanks grent for this wonderful piece of art
I LOVEEE THIS your voice is one of the few things in this world that keeps me sane, and that says a lot. i adore you and your music, wishing you the best
This song is so beautiful. It gives me the same vibes as "Beyond the Sea", a happy song that has a sad undertone. I like to imagine myself singing this to an ideal version of myself that I've had to let go of in order to be free and find happiness. Thank you for making more music
Absence of You Maybe I'm learning to love you less You said your goodbyes but I haven’t said mine yet I laid down in the fire and watched it turn blue As the cinders fell on memories of you But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now And I’m on my way Out to paradise There's a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break When you’re on my mind now the absence of you sets me free You’d leave me notes around the house, then you’re gone Said Things like “I’m out”, “I’ll be late”, “don't wait up“ I let you keep your distance but I hated keeping mine If you loved me you would learn to compromise But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now (close ‘em for now) And be on my way Out to paradise There's a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break When you’re on my mind now the absence of you sets me free And I’m on my way Out to paradise To a world away that's waiting for me Waves always break When you’re on my mind now the absence of you sets me free Now the absence of you sets me free Now the absence of you sets me free Songwriters: Grant Perez / Julia Church / Linden Berelowitz

This song reminds me of my ex best friend. She was my whole world 3 years ago. We got into a fight and stoped hanging out. She soon started talking extremely bad about me . A year later she came up to me and said she wanted to be friends again. I said yes, oblivious to the fact that it was to gain about me info to spill to my friends. Then I heard I was switching schools.i was extremely frustrated because I didn’t wanna leave my friends behind, leave her behind. Now, best friend has a childhood friend who’s friends with my ex bsf. I just heard that she still talks about me and calls herself the victim. I realized that me switching schools was the best for me. If I stayed I’m not sure if I’d still be here. I finally realized how horrible she was to me. She’d ditch me for people she just met even though we knew each other since we were 4. It took me a while to heal from all of the stuff she did to me.

I think it's fate that I discovered this song when I can say that I am finally healed from my last breakup. It's so refreshing and full of hope despite the bittersweetness of it. Truly the absence of them makes you appreciate your OWN presence better.
this is actually the exact spot im in right now and i found this song a couple days ago on spotify
"Now the absence of you sets me free." Feels good to say it
lyrics:
Maybe i'm learning to love you less
You're say you're goodbyes but i haven't set mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched them turn blue
As the cinders fell on memories of you
But i'm okey now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired
So i'll close them for now
And i'm on my way out to paradise
There's a world away that's waitting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you sets me free
You'd leave me notes 'round the house
Then you're gone
Said things like i'm out
I'll be late, don't wait up
I let you keep your distance
But i hated keeping mine
If you love me you would learn to compromise
But i'm okey now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired
So i'll close them for now (close em for now)
And be on my way out to paradise
There's a world away that's waitting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you sets me free
And i'm on my way out to paradise
To a world away that's waitting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you sets me free
~
Now the absence of you sets me free
~
oh the absence of you sets me free
ohhh ~~~~
Thanks but that’s the lyrics video 😅

im stucked in the same situation u got out of. if u dont mind me asking, how did you get the courage to leave & let that person u love go?

Relatable

LYRICS:
Maybe I'm learning to love you less
You've said your goodbyes but I haven't said mine yet
I laid down in the fires and watched 'em turn blue
As the cinders feel on memories of you
But I'm okay now
I've finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
You'd leave me notеs 'round the house, then you'rе gone
Said things like, "I'm out, I'll be late, don't wait up"
I let you keep your distance, but I hated keeping mine
If you loved thee, you would learn to compromise
But I'm okay now (but I'm okay)
I've finally figured you out (I've finally figured you out)
My rosy eyes are tired so I'll close 'em for now
Close 'em for now
And be on my way out to Paradise (I'm on my way out to Paradise)
There's a world away that's waiting for me (I know you've been waiting)
Waves always break when you're on my mind (always break, when you're on my mind)
Now the absence of you set me free
And I'm on my way out to Paradise
To a world that's away waiting for me
Waves always break when you're on my mind
Now the absence of you set me free
Now the absence of you set me free
Oh, the absence of you set me free
Oh, oh
Oh, oh

WAIT WHAT?? 2 YEARS AGO?
Absence of You
Maybe I'm learning to love you less
You said your goodbyes but I haven’t said mine yet
I laid down in the fire and watched it turn blue
As the cinders fell on memories of you
But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now
And I’m on my way
Out to paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break
When you’re on my mind
now the absence of you sets me free
You’d leave me notes around the house, then you’re gone
Said Things like “I’m out”, “I’ll be late”, “don't wait up“
I let you keep your distance but I hated keeping mine
If you loved me you would learn to compromise
But I’m okay now, I finally figured you out
My rosy eyes are tired so I’ll close them for now (close ‘em for now)
And be on my way
Out to paradise
There's a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break
When you’re on my mind
now the absence of you sets me free
And I’m on my way
Out to paradise
To a world away that's waiting for me
Waves always break
When you’re on my mind
now the absence of you sets me free
Now the absence of you sets me free
Now the absence of you sets me free
Songwriters: Grant Perez / Julia Church / Linden Berelowitz
