I Should Have Been There to Inspire You

Nothing I'd say or I could do Could move the mountains from your view Nothing I see or I could show There's only darkness now I know I should have been there to inspire you Not paint your world a cold, cold blue I should have been there to inspire you I could have told you truthful too That I believed in you Told you truthful too I could have been there within your reach This is not self-pity of which I speak I never took time to see how you'd grown I never took the care it takes to know Never took the time to see what you'd found But always had the time to bring you down More than all this I do not know Only that love is here to show Someone a world, to be themselves A place to fall when all else fails And friends harsh words cut deep and sore But believe me mine will hurt me more In those moments before I sleep When I am truly alone to see I should have been there to inspire you Not paint your world a cold, cold blue I should have been there to inspire you I could have told you truthful too ???- that I believed in you
