You Weren't There lyrics

She came home just won the game
Long time struggle she felt faint and dreary
All she wanted was to make you proud
You weren't there

Had his birthday a few days ago
He got some presents, a big party too
And there were congratulation cards
As it used to be for
Not ever one from you

You weren't there
You stand far away
It's like this every day
I see it in that hand
I wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close the light
And miss you once again
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/l/lene_marlin/you_werent_there.html ]
She cut herself on that 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
You stand far away
It's like this every day
I see it in that hand
I wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close the light
And miss you once again

You cannot turn back time
I wish that to come true
They're making up these stories about you

You weren't there
You stand far away
It's like this every day
I see it in that hand
I wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close the light
And miss you once again
Miss you once again...
