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) --- I Should Have Been There to Inspire You - Paul Weller
