Lene Marlin - You Weren't There lyrics

She came home, just won the game

Long time struggle she fulfilled her dream

All she wanted was to make you proud,

You weren't there

He had his birthday few days ago

He got some presents, a big party too

And there were congratulation calls

As the years before, not ever one from you

You weren't there, distant, far away

It's like this every day, they see you in their heads

Wonder if you'll come

Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again

She cut herself on a piece of paper

It didn't hurt, but she saw the blood

She could need that embrace, you weren't there

Did he have to cry louder,

Would that make you hear him

You see, his heart was broken, for the first time

You weren't there, distant, far away

It's like this every day, they see you in their heads

Wonder if you'll come

Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again

Cannot turn back time, a wish yet to come true

They're making up these stories about you

You weren't there, distant, far away

It's like this every day, they see you in their heads

Wonder if you'll come

Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again
