Lyrics
I wasn’t there to save you from the moments of despair
I couldn't be present to support you during difficult times
I wasn’t there to be the one who hold your hand
I couldn't be there to physically comfort and guide you
I’m not the one to tell you what to do
I don't dictate your actions
Or what to feel
I don't control your emotions
But I want you to know that I’m here
Despite my absence, I want you to be aware of my support
Memories and voices
Reflecting on past experiences and echoes of voices
Memories
Focusing on memories
Wrap your mind with poison
Allowing negative thoughts to envelop your mind
Tenderly
Gently, with care
I could be the one to be there when I'm needed
I could be the supportive presence when needed
But you have to be there for you
Emphasizing self-reliance, urging the listener to be there for themselves
You have to be there
Stressing the importance of self-presence
For you have to be there for
Reiterating the need to be present for oneself
You have to be there for
Continuing to stress self-support
You have to be there for you
Emphasizing the importance of self-presence
Have to be there for you
Reiterating the need to be there for oneself
I wasn’t there with you to lighten up the darkest day
I couldn't be there to brighten your darkest day
I wish I could but past is something I can’t change
Expressing a wish to change the past, acknowledging its unchangeable nature
All that I know that life from now will go different way
Acknowledging a shift in life's course from this point onward
I know that looking into your eyes
Acknowledging the impact of looking into someone's eyes
Memories and voices
Reflecting on past experiences and echoes of voices (repeated)
Memories
Focusing on memories (repeated)
Wrap your mind with poison
Allowing negative thoughts to envelop your mind (repeated)
Tenderly
Gently, with care (repeated)
I could be the one to be there when I'm needed
I could be the supportive presence when needed (repeated)
But you have to be there for you
Emphasizing self-reliance, urging the listener to be there for themselves (repeated)
You have to be there
Stressing the importance of self-presence (repeated)
For you have to be there for
Reiterating the need to be present for oneself (repeated)
You have to be there for you
Continuing to stress self-support (repeated)
You have to be there for you
Emphasizing the importance of self-presence (repeated)
Have to be there for you
Reiterating the need to be there for oneself (repeated)
