I Wasn’t There
©2007 Doug Spears

I’ve got pictures in my mind,
God how I wish my mind were blind,
I see you dancing, romancing,
Held in arms that are not mine.

I wasn’t there, not in your heart, your mind or soul,
I wasn’t there the night your passion took control,
And now I bear the pain of these waking dreams,
Of all the things you were feeling when I wasn’t there.

My hands are shaking as my heart’s breaking,
These scenes keep playing in my brain,
I see you laughing, your eyes flashing,
Playing scenes with a lover when I wasn’t there

I wasn’t there when your heart cried out for me,
I wasn’t there and Lord I’d left you so in need,
I wasn’t there and now my heart just can’t break free,
Of the pain that I know belongs to me.

Now I’ve got pictures in my mind,
God how I wish my mind were blind,
I see you dancing, romancing,
Held in arms that are not mine.

I wasn’t there, not in your heart, your mind or soul,
I wasn’t there the night your passion took control,
And now I bear the pain of these waking dreams,
Of all the things you were feeling when I wasn’t there.

There was so much you were feeling when I wasn’t there.
