Indifference & absence as the true opposite of love.
A wonderful guitarbased pop ballad about the negative impact of the absence of a very important loved person.
The song outlines events in the lives of several children, but someone playing an important role in their lives—possibly a parent or...
[Verse 1]
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
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this everyday
They see you in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close their eyes
And miss you once again
[Verse 3]
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
[Verse 4]
Did he have to cry louder?
Would that make you hear him?
You see his heart was broken
For the first time
[Chorus]
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this everyday
They see you in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close their eyes
And miss you once again
[Bridge]
Cannot turn back time
A wish yet to come true
They're making up these stories about you
[Chorus]
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this everyday
They see you in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close their eyes
And miss you once again
[Outro]
And miss you once again
