Strum
D-DU-UDU
She  came home just won the  game
Long  time struggle she fulfilled her  dream
All  she wanted was to make you proud
You  weren't there
Had  his birthday a few days  ago
He  got some presents, a big party  too
And  there were congratulation cards
As  it used to be for
 Not ever one from you
 You weren't there
 Distant far away
 it's like this every  day
 I see it in their heads
 Wonder if you'll come
 Afraid to close their eyes
 And miss you once again
She  cut herself on that piece of  paper
It  didn't hurt but she saw the  blood
She  could need that embrace
 You weren't there
Did  he have to cry louder?
Would  that make you hear him?
You  see his heart was broken
 For the first  time
 You weren't there
 Distant far away
 It's like this every  day
 I see it in their heads
 Wonder if you'll come
 Afraid to close their eyes
 And miss you once again
You  cannot turn back time
I  wish that to come  true
 They're  making up these stories  about you
 You weren't there
 Distant far away
 It's like this every day
 I see it in their heads
 Wonder if you'll come
 Afraid to close their eyes
 And miss you once again
 Miss  you once again...
