No One Was There Lyrics

We've been picking out pieces of shrapnel from your flesh

Even though the bomb went off nearly half a century ago

And though you walk with a limp as you stumble through life

You hide it so well I defy anyone to know

No one was there

No one was there to protect you when you needed someone

To defend you from a man who said that he loved you

But all he did was block out the light

No one was there

No one was there to catch you at the end of the rope

When you when you tried to mend all the wrong

With a fall into the dark hoping there'd be light

We're here to tell you it's gonna be alright

We've been picking up the shattered pieces of you your life from the floor

So we can put you back together again

Just to watch you break yourself upon another bottle

So you can have a good time as you crash down upon the hard floor again

No one was there

No one was there to protect you when you needed someone

To defend you from a man who said he loved you

But all he did was block out the light

No one was there

No one was there to catch you at the end of the rope

When you when you tried to mend all the wrong

With a fall into the dark hoping there'd be light

We're here to tell you it's going to be alright

It's going to be alright
