The Petal Falls - All These Years

I Won't Be There

See the lines on my face
Where the years have cut deep
See the shadows in my eyes
Where i never sleep
All I possess
Is here in my hands
All of my life
I've been a hard working man

You gonna need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
When you need me
All you gotta do all you gotta say
Is you need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
And I won't be there, I won't be there
Hey
I won't be there
Hey
When you need me
Hey
But I won't be there

Hear the crack in my voice
I could break down and weep
Love is not so pure
It can be dirty and cheap
Like the bitterest of pills
Is always hard to take
How can something be so real
Yet always be a fake
I can feel the poison
Ripping me apart
Self pity overwhelming me
And creeping through my heart

You gonna need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
When you need me
All you gotta do all you gotta say
Is you need you need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
And I won't be there, I won't be there
When you need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
When you need me
All you gotta do all you gotta say
Is you need you need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
And I won't be there, I won't be there

Obscenities and lies
Like a never ending stream
You cut me to the bone
With the violence of your screams
A thousand tiny pieces
Shattered on the floor
I still hear your laughter
In the closing of a door
Oooow

You gonna need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
When you need me
All you gotta do all you gotta say
Is you need you need me
Gonna come a time gonna come a day
And I won't be there, I won't be there
When you need
Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey
When you need me
Hey
Hey
And I won't be there
Don't walk away
Hey
Hey
Hey
Don't walk away
Hey
Hey
Hey
Don't you turn your back
Hey
Hey
Cause I won't be there, I won't be there
Hey
