Absent Love is an unreleased song by Marina Diamandis, intended for her fourth studio album, LOVE + FEAR.
The song was written by Marina, and speculated to be co-written with Sarah Hudson. Alex Hope is thought to have produced the track.
Background[]
Only one of the LOVE + FEAR outtakes has been registered (If It's Worth It), and although registration only shows the writers of the song, which can be the producer, that means we don't know who produced the track.
When leaked,[2][unreliable source] the file name suggested the song was co-written with Sarah Hudson in 2017, (perhaps around the same time as Please Don't Call Me in February) and produced by Alex Hope.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1]
You say there'll be time for us
But your promises turn to dust
When the work is done (Work is done)
I’ll be your number one
But time, time, time, time
Time waits for no one
[Pre-Chorus]
And in all honesty
This distance is killing me, is killing me
[Chorus]
Do I need you more than you need me?
(Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy
(Am I 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,
Time waits for nobody
[Pre-Chorus]
The lack of stability
Gets old and it triggers me, it triggers me
[Chorus]
Do I need you more than you need me?
(Tell me, baby)
You make absent love look so easy
(Am I 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
Absent love
[Bridge]
You know I haven’t changed the way I feel
But you know I can’t pretend it’s no big deal
(Absent love)
[Chorus]
Do I need you more than you need me?
(Tell me, baby) (Absent love)
You make absent love look so easy
(Am I crazy?)
The push and the pull, the up and the down
Waking up to nobody (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
(Am I 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
