| I only got you in my stories
|
| And you know I tell them right
|
| I remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
|
| So give it up for fallen glory
|
| I never got to say goodbye
|
| I wish I could ask for just a bit more time
|
| Every step I take, you used to lead the way
|
| Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
|
| You're not there
|
| To celebrate the man that you made
|
| You're not there
|
| To share in my success and mistakes
|
| Isn't fair
|
| You'll never know the person I'll be
|
| You're not there
|
| With me
|
| Though I know that you're not there
|
| I still write you all these songs
|
| It's like, you got the right to know what's going on
|
| As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
|
| At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd
|
| Every step I take, you used to lead the way
|
| Now I'm terrified to face it on my own
|
| You're not there
|
| To celebrate the man that you made
|
| You're not there
|
| To share in my success and mistakes
|
| Isn't fair
|
| You'll never know the person I'll be
|
| You're not there
|
| With me
|
| Time can heal your wounds if
|
| You're strong and standing tall
|
| I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
|
| They say, "You'll grow older, and it'll get better still"
|
| Yes, I will, but no, it won't
|
| They don't get it, 'cause
|
| You're not there
|
| To celebrate the man that you made
|
| You're not there
|
| To share in my success and mistakes
|
| Isn't fair
|
| You'll never know the person I'll be
|
| You're not there
|
| With me |
