Inside # 6 : Lene Marlin

She came home, just won the game 
Long time struggle she fulfilled her dream 
All she wanted was to make you proud, 
You weren't there 

He had his birthday few days ago 
He got some presents, a big party too 
And there were congratulation calls 
As the years before, not ever one from you 

You weren't there, distant, far away 
It's like this every day, they see you in their heads 
Wonder if you'll come 
Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again 

She cut herself on a piece of paper 
It didn't hurt, but she saw the blood 
She could need that embrace, you weren't there 

Did he have to cry louder, 
Would that make you hear him 
You see, his heart was broken, for the first time 

You weren't there, distant, far away 
It's like this every day, they see you in their heads 
Wonder if you'll come 
Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again 

Cannot turn back time, a wish yet to come true 
They're making up these stories about you 

You weren't there, distant, far away 
It's like this every day, they see you in their heads 
Wonder if you'll come 
Afraid to close their eyes, and miss you once again

Did you know,

hidden by his clothes there are some scars
Some are recent,
some have been there for years
Did you know
It doesn’t even hurt
It never really hurts, but there are tears

Do you want the real story,
or do you prefer the lie
Do you want to see him smile,
or maybe see him cry
Do you want to follow,
or let him go alone
For then, never to know… never to know

Have you seen the way he acts sometimes
And when you ask,
he’ll say that he’s okay.
Have you seen how well he pretends
Laughs out loud,
before he looks away

Do you want the real story,
or do you prefer the lie
Do you want to see him smile,
or maybe see him cry
Do you want to follow,
or let him go alone
For then, never to know… never to know
