Lukas Graham - You're Not There - Lyrics

Lukas Graham - You're Not There - Lyrics

I only got you in my stories
And you know I tell them right
Remember you and I, when I'm awake at night
So give it up for fallen glory
I never got to say goodbye
I wish I could ask for just a bit more time

Every step I take, you used to lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Though I know that you're not there
I still write you all these songs
It's like, you still got the right to know what's going on
As I struggle to remember how you used to look and sound
Sometimes I still think I can spot you in the crowd

Every step I take, you used to lead the way
Now I'm terrified to face it on my own

You're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

Time can heal your wounds if
You're strong and standing tall
I've been doing all of that, it didn't help at all
They say you'll grow older, and it'll get better still
Yes, I will, but no it won't
They don't get it

'Cause you're not there
To celebrate the man that you made
You're not there
To share in my my success and mistakes
Is it fair?
You'll never know the person I'll be
You're not there
With me

This song reminds of my older brother. He passed away a few months ago in an accident and it is gonna take some getting used to. It's weird for someone you have loved your whole life and in it from the beginning to disappear as if he was never here at all. I wish he would be able to see just how much stronger he made us, how much his kindness influenced others, and i regret that I never told him just how much he meant to me. I am going to miss him picking me up for practice, playing card games, making fun of anything and everything. But most of all, I am going to miss the smile he would give everyone over nothing. All I had to do was look at him funny and he would have the most angelic smile on his face. That have might be a bit random but I had always loved that about him and I am glad I was able to tell him that before he went.

This song reminds me of my mother who passed when I was a young man. I wish I could have shared my life with her as a grown man. This song is simple, heart felt and poignant. I thank you for this song Mr. Graham.

[naoyazenin]

Every time I hear this song it reminds me that life is a precious thing and you should celebrate it with your family before their gone. I love your songs Lukas Graham!! There so deep and emotional. I'm sorry for your loss.

[ikazulaiqah]

He dedicated this song to his dad.. Damnn😢

[luda]

This song is not long enough! I never want it to end!

Love your loved ones!

[angelanderson]

This song contains so much pain and yearning. To all the persons in here who lost someone close to deepest condolences.

[astridburricks]

I lost my daddy recently and this song explains my emotions and what I'm going through! I cry everyday 😢

[yasmine]

I've listened this song more times than I can count, and yet I cry as if I'm mourning each time. I love my parents more than I could ever express and these lyrics, the music... they speak to my soul. I know one day I'll probably have to face the darkest chapter of my life because their light won't be upon me anymore. I pray to God He receives them in His loving arms when the time comes.

[maddieburton]

this song reminds my dad. he took his life when i was little and my mom wasn’t in the picture so when he left i had no one. i get choked up when i listen to this. i spent many years hating him for what he did but now i’ve realized how much he was going through. i always felt like it was my fault bc he was so young (18 when i was born, mom 15) he took he life at 22. i thought i ruined his. i feel sorry for him, he missed out on a lot. i just wanted to put write this comment for anyone who is thinking the thoughts my dad did or if anyone went through what i did, it will get better. life throws things at us for a reason. stay strong and overcome. there’s a reason for everything. good always out ways the bad, trust me❤️

[wowitscay]

I never got to say goodbye to my grandad and as I'm singing to this I'm crying so hard. Just the thought that I won't ever be able to hug him kills me

[moody]

This hits on a another level if you lost your dad and its been years of pent up emotions. It's not fair..

[yanalicious]

This song reminds me of my uncle, may his memory live on in our hearts forever ❤

[markrosnick]

I lost my dad in March of 2019...and my mom in March of this year. I sob everytime I hear it.

[JL-eeyv]

Song still hits me everytime. RIP Dad wish you were still here to see the Man that you made, but most of all your grandkids I made😪

[BearHawks]

Oh, he's there and he sees and hears everything you do!!🎶💜

[AdemirICedillos]

I lost my dad a week ago and I can't help but get emotional.

[selinaspiro]

As I was cleaning my room I passed by the hall way witch leads to my grandma’s room I’ve over heard her playing this song and singing along too it I’ve realized she’s singing to my grandpa witch passed away last year 💔

[zaref]

I lost my father 9 years ago, I come back to this song every now and then trying to remember him. My memories are fading, I don’t even miss him...

[sourdrop]

I'm turning sixteen tomorrow & it's going to be my first birthday without my dad. It feels so strange to experience something without him for the first time, it feels incomplete. Appreciate your loved ones while you still have them, you don't know when you'll lose them.

[stoppingingmeplease.]
