"There But Not Around"

Here

For so many years

I wasn’t there for you

And I thought I was right

There were so many times

I thought I might be wrong

And those were the only times I was right

After all these years

I’m ready to admit

I should have always been there for you

I’m here now

And I’m not going anywhere

But you’re not sure where you want to be

It might be too late

Can you trust me?

Do you love me?

Will you be here for me too?

I don’t know where you are

And you’re not sure either

I can’t say I blame you

But after all these years

I’m going to keep being right here

Waiting for you

It's the one thing I know is right
