I Should Have Been There to Inspire You

Nothing I'd say or I could do

Could move the mountains from your view

Nothing I see or I could show

There's only darkness now I know

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you, told you truthful too

I should have been there

Within your reach

This is not self pity,yeah

Of which I speak

I never took time to see how you'd grown

I never took the care it takes to know

Never took the time to see what you'd found

(Never took the time to see what you'd found)

Oh, had the time to bring you down

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you, told you truthful too

I could have been there

I could have been there

More than all this I do not know

Only that love is here to show

Someone a world to be themselves

A place to fall when all else fails

Friends harsh words cut deep and sore

But believe me mine will hurt me more

In those moments before I sleep

When I am truly alone to see

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you, told you truthful too

Ohh, I believed in you, yeah

(Told you truthful too)

Yeah, I believed in you

(Told you truthful too)
