i’ll be there

[Verse 1]

I don't know if you'll remember me

I was more than just a face when you were three

It wasn't my choice that I had to leave

I hate that when you see me in a photo

I'll be the only person that you don't know

I wonder if they'll give you all the cards

I send on your birthday

[Chorus]

When your nose is bloody

And your hands are dirty

But you need someone to hold

And when your heart gets broken

You get caught smoking

I want you to know

That you won't see me

But I'll be there, believe me

You won't see me

But I'll bе there, beliеve me

[Verse 2]

And you're all dressed up for the first day of school

Your backpack is too big for you

When you smile for the camera, just smile for me

And when you get into trouble for the first time

And you don't know who to call for some good advice

I wish you knew that I was here for whatever you need

[Chorus]

When your nose is bloody

And your hands are dirty

But you need someone to hold

And when your heart gets broken

You get caught smoking

I want you to know

That you won't see me

But I'll be there, believe me

You won't see me

But I'll be there, believe me

[Verse 3]

And when you meet your first boyfriend or girlfriend

I hope that they treat you just like I would

And I wonder what will make laugh till you're on the floor

Listening to a band I've never heard before

When you grow up one day we will meet again

Yeah, I hope that we will

'Cause I love you so much it hurts

And for what it's worth I will care for you still

[Outro]

You won't see me

But I'll be there, believe me

You won't see me

But I'll be there, believe me
