I Wasn’t There

I'm so sorry, had to settle some things

I was sitting, drinking, thinking

About what hell I could bring you to share

But when our eyes met, I wasn't there

I could complicate or I could say what I mean

I was sitting, contemplating

On what heaven to sing in your ear

But I wasn't there

So can you find me?

Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me

I know it's you because you do it well

No denying, can't define it

Know there's malice in you, babe

I kinda like it

It's all-consuming, and you do it well

No surprises

I went out sideways, I was setting the scene

I paid a quick visit to the answering machine

Where you lived, but you weren't there

Thought I saw an angel, maybe I saw a ghost

I swore I saw you with me just an hour ago

You wouldn't care if I wasn't there

So can you find me?

Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me

I know it's you because you do it well

No denying, can't define it

Notice malice in you, babe

I kinda like it

It's all-consuming, and you do it well

No surprises

I was off missing, and it's not what it seems

You were sewn into every single fiber of me

Will it tear

If I'm never there?

If I wasn't there

If I wasn't there
