You're Not There

I only got you in my stories
And you know I tell them right
And remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
So give it up for fallen glory
I never got to say goodbye
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time

Every step I take, you used lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my succes and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Though I know that you're not there
I still write you all these songs
It's like, you got the right to know what's going on
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd

Every step I take, you used lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my succes and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Time can heal your wounds if
You're strong and standing tall
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
They say, You'll grow older, and it'll get better still
Yes, I will, but no it won't
They don't get it, it's cause

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my my succes and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me
