You Weren't There — Lene Marlin

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 a 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 Miss you once again...
