I only got you in my stories
And you know I tell them right
I 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 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 success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You`ll never know the person I`ll be
You`re not there
With me
