Never There

You were never there

Even when I needed you most

The night is empty

And my heart feels lost

I called your name in the shadows

Hoping for a sign

But all I heard was silence

Your absence all the time

Never there

When I needed you near

All the love I gave

Vanished into the air

The rain falls soft on lonely streets

Echoes of what we had

I reach for warmth I cannot find

And it makes me sad

Never there

When I needed you near

All the love I gave

Vanished into the air

If I could turn back time

I'd hold on and make you see

Every moment, every rhyme

Would prove your heart to me

Never there

When I needed you near

All the love I gave

Vanished into the air

I'm still standing here alone

You were never there
