You're Not Here
I wish you knew the person I am The way I hold my heart in my hands The way I sing like it's the air that I breathe People say it's everything I whistle still, crack my knuckles too Cause these are the two things you, you taught me to do They get on my mother's nerves, maybe cause I learned it from you I hope one day there's more for me to choose Until that day I wish this to be true When I run, I'm running to your arms And when I sing, I'm singing to your heart I feel you near in my moments of fear But when I open up my eyes I see it clear It's only in my dreams that you are here You're not here Did you know I dropped out of school Nineteen years old with a whole lot to prove Carried on through my doubts All to figure out Who I was meant to be Ten years later Twenty nine years old SongtexteGot my poor heart broken Did it over the phone Was in a hotel room And I was all alone I was alone I wanted to run, run into your arms And cry while you held me to your heart Feel you near in my moment of fear But I opened up my eyes and wiped the tears It was only in my dreams that you were here And now you're missing out On how I get to live the life that I forever and a day had dreamed about And it's a shame you won't be there for the joy I've yet to share Because in spite of you I'm here oh yes I'm here And I'm in love and it's for real and you'll never get to meet them But I truly hope you're happy where you are It's unfortunate we end before we start I hope you know I'll always love you from afar But I can't ignore the part That wants to run, run into your arms And sing until it pierces through your heart Feel you near in my moments of fear I know that it's a dream, and you're not here I'm holding onto dreams 'cause you're not here You'll never be here Aus Songtexte Mania
