Hearts in boxes

I wasn't there (Mercedes version)

Walking down those door steps
Tracing where your little fingers would've been on the railings
Missing your little smile
As you showed me your last one
For one last time

*instruments, piano, light guitar, light rain drops in the background of it*
*30 second gap*

And then there we are, together
Dancing in the living room
I remember it all
Like it was yesterday
Can get you out of my head

Can get your laugh
Your smile
Your hands
Your eyes
You everything out of my mind

*louder guitar and lightish loudish piano with drums*

I wasn't there
I couldn't of been
But i should've
But I should've
Saved you
Even if I was 22

*guitar and piano overlapping lightly, as drums are banged in a repetitive way*
*a minute pause*

You were bright news
I wanted to have you
I wanted to have you
Have you in my arms
Here
Here

Here right now
Right now
Right now
I miss you more than anything
And I need you here

*slow guitar, piano, and a lower beat of drums*

I wasn't there
I should've been there
I wasn't there
