A soft piano-driven ballad about how Deryck’s father was “Never There” throughout his life. He blames him for making him grow up in a broken home and, even while his mother always cared for him, the fact that he never met his father always bothered him. In the track, he comments on how he never met...
[Verse 1]
Do you think about me cause I don’t have any doubt
You must in this life
Even though you’re never there, I didn’t feel you disappear
From sight, you did it well
[Chorus]
And now you and I share the same life missin' out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if I
I had the chance, I’d let you know that I understand
I’ve let you go
[Verse 2]
I don’t need you by my side I think by now I’m doin' fine
Myself, on my own
And I feel you time to time, like you're sending out a sign
I can tell you're not alone
[Chorus]
Because you and I share the same life missin' out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if the
The chance appears I’d have no fears
We both share pain, we feel the same
[Instrumental Interlude]
[Chorus]
And now you and I share the same life missin' out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if I
I had the chance, I’d let you know that I understand
I’ve let you go
You and I share the same life missin' out
So the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if the
The chance appears, well I’d have no fears
We both share pain, we feel the same

I never wanted to write this song, it just kind of poured out of me. I tried to fight it at first but there was no stopping it.
I could tell I was writing about my dad, who I’ve never met. It’s a subject that I don’t really think about or care about. It’s never...
