I Just Thought You'd Be There Chris Pratt, Copyright January 2003 There were those moments, the blame just fell on you cried in selfish torment, as every fool will do spent an lot of time working through my childish fears I wasted so very many days, looking through my tears Hurt and anger faded, as it does for everyone been away from sadness, guess the crying is all done but I got this nagging feeling, it still catches me off guard must be the reason loving others is so hard I always thought you'd be there, my close and trusted friend Always be beside me, beside me to the end Time makes vows so distant, there's nothing to defend I just thought that you'd be there, my friend until the end Days can seem so normal, the nights so very good Attraction comes more easily, I guess you thought it would when love is on the table, it so quickly disapears The terror of that feeling takes me back so many years Chorus Solo Don't recall you telling me, you would never go I chose to give my heart away, that's my fault I know But all the time together made it seem so very real Somewhere down inside of me, I can't change the way I feel Chorus
