You're Not There
I only got you in my storiesAnd you know I tell them rightAnd remember you and I, when I'm awake at nightSo give it up for fallen gloryI never got to say goodbyeI wish I could ask for just a bit more time
Every step I take, you used lead the wayNow I'm terrified to face it on my own
You're not thereTo celebrate the man that you madeYou're not thereTo share in my succes and mistakesIs it fair?You'll never know the person I'll beYou're not thereWith me...
Though I know that you're not thereI still write you all these songsIt's like, you got the right to know what's going onAs I struggle to remember how you used to look and soundAt times I still think I can spot you in the crowd
Every step I take, you used lead the wayNow I'm terrified to face it on my own
You're not thereTo celebrate the man that you madeYou're not thereTo share in my succes and mistakesIs it fair?You'll never know the person I'll beYou're not thereWith me...
Time can heal your wounds ifYou're strong and standing tallI've been doing all of that, it didn't help at allThey say "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"Yes, I will, but no it won'tThey don't get it, it's cause...
You're not thereTo celebrate the man that you madeYou're not thereTo share in my my succes and mistakesIs it fair?You'll never know the person I'll beYou're not thereWith me...
