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