You should've been there,
|
Should've burst through the door,
|
With that 'baby I'm right here' smile,
|
And it would've felt like,
|
A million little shining stars had just aligned,
|
And I would've been so happy.
|
|
Christmas lights glisten,
|
I've got my eye on the door,
|
Just waiting for you to walk in,
|
But the time is ticking,
|
People ask me how I've been
|
As I come back through my memory,
|
How you said you'd be here,
|
You said you'd be here.
|
|
And it was like slow motion,
|
Standing there in my party dress,
|
In red lipstick,
|
With no-one to impress,
|
And they're all laughing,
|
As I'm looking around the room,
|
But there's one thing missing,
|
And that was the moment I knew.
|
|
And the hours pass by,
|
Now I just wanna be alone,
|
But your close friends always seem to know
|
when there's something really wrong,
|
So they follow me down the hall,
|
And there in the bathroom,
|
I try not to fall apart,
|
And the sinking feeling starts,
|
As I say hopelessly,
|
"He said he'd be here."
|
|
And it was like slow motion,
|
Standing there in my party dress,
|
In red lipstick,
|
With no-one to impress,
|
And they're all laughing,
|
And asking me about you,
|
But there's one thing missing,
|
And that was the moment I knew.
|
|
What do you say
|
When tears are streaming down your face,
|
In front of everyone you know?
|
And what do you do when the one
|
Who means the most to you,
|
is the one who didn't show?
|
|
You should've been here.
|
And I would've been so happy.
|
|
And it was like slow motion,
|
Standing there in my party dress,
|
In red lipstick,
|
With no-one to impress,
|
And they're all standing around me singing,
|
Happy Birthday to you,
|
But there's one thing missing,
|
And that was the moment I knew.
|
|
Ooh, I knew.
|
|
You call me later,
|
And say I'm sorry I didn't make it.
|
And I say I'm sorry too,
|
And that was the moment I knew.
