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 still got the right to know what's going on

As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound

Sometimes 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.
