While you weren't here
I cried every night.
A million tears fell,
Still my heart wasn't right.
While you weren't here
I did what I could,
Hoping against hope
My decisions were good.
While you weren't here
I gained some in age.
Things just went on
And life turned a page.
While you weren't here
I just tried to go on,
Knowing what didn't kill me
Would only make me strong.
While you weren't here
A whole lot got changed.
My life became different,
My world rearranged.
While you weren't here
I had to learn to be alone,
To stand on my two feet,
To make my own home
So that's where I am now,
At this stage of my life,
Still scared and alone,
Still coping with strife.
And oh how I wish that
Things could be different,
That I could go back
To a time in the past,
To a time before
You weren't here.
