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 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 You're not there with me
