You're Not There - Lukas Graham & Mickey Guyton

(There's a long way from a gentleman through the night sky) (There's a long way from a simple girl to a house wife) (There's a big difference from reaching to the top and wanting to get by) (There's big difference in walking on earth and running in life) 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 got the right to know what's going on As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound At times I still think I can spot you in the crowd Every step I take, you used to lead the way And 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

No one told me about her The way she lied Well, no one told me about her How many people cried Well, it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there... oh oh oh Nobody told me about her What could I do Well, nobody told me about her Though they all knew Well, it's too late to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there... Well, let me tell you about the way she looked The way she acted, the color of her hair Her voice is soft and cool Her eyes are clear and bright But she's not there... Well it's too later to say you're sorry How would I know, why should I care Please don't bother trying to find her She's not there... Well, let me tell you about the way she looked The way she acted, the color of her hair Her voice is soft and cool Her eyes are clear and bright But she's not there...

I'd give you everything I never had I hope you know that But now I have it, I don't need it, it's important that you see it Money often makes a never-home dad Is it worth all the times when I'm never here? Is it worth it when daddy can't dry your tears? Is it life or just a living? Kids and wife is not a given I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I've ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you I'm gonna miss the most important things And I know that Your first words, a couple steps, at least we got so many left Your mom's so good, she never make me look bad 'Cause she knows all the times when I'm far from home In a room full of people but all alone It gets me thinkin' when we're smokin' and we're drinkin' I wish I could be a stay-at-home dad And all the dreams I had, I Still see them in your eyes Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I wish that he could have seen you Now you can hurt me more than I ever Been hurt before and I've been hurt before I'll live, I'll live, I'll live I'll live like this forever I still have all the wounds he left But they don't hurt no more like they hurt before I wish, I wish, I wish I wish that he could have seen you Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

I've been on the road Bringing back money Yeah, I've been digging gold I hope you still want me I know I've been gone a little too long But money don't grow So I gotta go I've been chasing dimes It's been so lonely Yeah, I've been in the mines I'm sorry my hours don't work out right I know I keep you up at night 'Cause ain't much changed but my age The man you love is the same Don't you know that hearts Can break easy? I gave you the best of my pieces Promise me you'll let me Come back home Keep my bed warm 'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you Only say you'll be there when I do Promise you get the best of me Only you get the rest of me Got my mind on your waist You're the life of my party Got a lot to do Can't stay in one place too long I've been on the move I know you've been waiting But here's the truth I want someone to come home to 'Cause ain't much changed but my age The man you love is the same And don't you know that hearts Can break easy? I gave you the best of my pieces Promise me you'll let me Come back home Keep my bed warm 'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you) Only say you'll be there when I do Promise me We're not gonna lose this 'Cause I'm on my way right now It's only home with you in it Now I'm so close it's unfair 'Cause ain't much changed but my age The man you love is the same And don't you know that hearts Can break easy? I gave you the best of my pieces Promise me you'll let me Come back home Keep my bed warm 'Cause I'm bringing it all back to you (Back to you) Only say you'll be there when I do Promise me Promise me Promise you get the best of me Only you get that recipe Got my mind on your waist
