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
REFREN
DmiYou cannot turn back time Ami GI wish that to come true
FThey're making up these stories about you
REFREN
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...
