You're Not There
Haven't dreamed in over a decade
But then you came along
My dreams became powerful
And so full of song
But after everything went down
My dreams still stayed the same
Having to wake up with only false hope in my brain
Everyone kept telling me to get you outta my mind
They don't get me, no, they don't
Or I must be blind
Go out into the world, they said
And meet somebody new
But the only one I want with me
Will always be you
You're not there
You're not there
I lost the path you set me on
And I was unaware how fast our lives were gonna change
We didn't share the same truth
And I wish I could tell you
You opened up a new world for me
By being in mine
I learned a new way to love someone
Everything now felt aligned
For the first time in forever
Every smile I had felt true
Thinking back at how you smiled at me
I know you felt it too
Everyone kept telling me to get you outta my mind
They don't get me, no, they don't
Or wait, could they be right
Go out into the world, they said
And meet somebody new
But the only one I want with me
Is still gonna be you
You're not there
You're not there
We really thought this was the one
And we both truly cared
But I can see it in your eyes
Our minds are no longer aligned
Still, I wish I could tell you
That every time I thought about us
Our future's what I would see (future's what I would see)
You and me, I knew we'd last
Now it's a distant memory (distant memory)
I swear I meant the best for you
For you, I'd put time in reverse (put time in reverse)
Bridges have been burned
And all of this now really hurts
Don't get me wrong, I know it's over
Though, I hope you're doing well
I just had pour my emotions out somehow
For myself
Don't worry about it
I'll be just fine
You are only the love of my life
You're not there
You're not there
I lost the path you set me on
And I was unaware how fast our lives were gonna change
We didn't share the same truth
And I wish I could tell you
But I know that there's no use
You were there
You were there
But then you came along
My dreams became powerful
And so full of song
But after everything went down
My dreams still stayed the same
Having to wake up with only false hope in my brain
Everyone kept telling me to get you outta my mind
They don't get me, no, they don't
Or I must be blind
Go out into the world, they said
And meet somebody new
But the only one I want with me
Will always be you
You're not there
You're not there
I lost the path you set me on
And I was unaware how fast our lives were gonna change
We didn't share the same truth
And I wish I could tell you
You opened up a new world for me
By being in mine
I learned a new way to love someone
Everything now felt aligned

And I wish I could tell you
But I know that there's no use
You were there
You were there
