You weren't here when,
when this bottle was mostly full.
You weren't here when,
there was more to this pack of cigarettes.
You weren't here when,
this depressing story began.
You weren't here when...
I had to grow up and become a woman
You weren't here when,
Times got hard and troubles got numerous
You weren't here when,
suddenly i lost the one i loved...
You weren't here when,
those that loved almost lost me.
You weren't here when,
i disappeared from the world.
You weren't here when,
when nobody noticed i had returned.
You weren't here when,
i threw up my arms in despair.
You weren't here when,
i finally gave in to the truth...
You weren't here, when i decided to overcome.
You weren't here, when
I decided to kill my feelings and move on.
You weren't here,
to see that plan fail.

But you're here now, listening to my voice,
looking into eyes that shy away from yours.
and you were here when...
I finally gave in.
And you were finally here,
to hear me say i love you.
