Had to Be There

[Verse 1]
Sixteen, broke down on Highway 15
I messed up my brand new blue jeans
But I just had to figure it out
My first heartbreak I could've escaped
The kinda guy that scares away
But I just had to figure him out

[Chorus]
I guess you had something better to do
Somewhere better to be
Do you ever miss me?
I was missing you
Guess you had the same thing happen to you
Like it happened to me
History just repeats
And we both lose
If you'd been around by now we could've clеared the air
But I guess you had to bе there

[Verse 2]
Maybe you've taken off to Tennessee
It'd be easier if you were proud of me
'Cause I'm still trying to figure it out

[Chorus]
I guess you had something better to do
Somewhere better to be
Do you ever miss me?
I was missing you
Guess you had the same thing happen to you
Like it happened to me
History just repeats
And we both lose
If you'd been around by now we could've cleared the air
But I guess you had to be there

[Bridge]
To know what I was going through
To know that I could've cared
Maybe I could've helped you

[Chorus]
I guess you had something better to do
Somewhere better to be
Do you ever miss me?
I was missing you
Guess you had the same thing happen to you
Like it happened to me
History just repeats
And we both lose
If you'd been around by now we could've cleared the air
But I guess you had to be there
I guess you had to be there

[Outro]
No I don't know where you are right now
Who or what you're out there
Thinking about, but I hope you figure it out
