"I Wasn't There" lyrics

I'm so sorry, had to settle some things
I was sitting, drinking, thinking
About what hell I could bring you to share
But when our eyes met, I wasn't there

I could complicate or I could say what I mean
I was sitting, contemplating
On what heaven to sing in your ear
But I wasn't there

So can you find me?
Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me
I know it's you because you do it well
No denying, can't define it
Know there's malice in you, babe
I kinda like it
It's all-consuming, and you do it well
No surprises

I went out sideways, I was setting the scene
I paid a quick visit to the answering machine
Where you lived, but you weren't there

Thought I saw an angel, maybe I saw a ghost
I swore I saw you with me just an hour ago
You wouldn't care if I wasn't there

So can you find me?
Know there's magic in you, babe, because it binds me
I know it's you because you do it well
No denying, can't define it
Know there's malice in you, babe
I kinda like it
It's all-consuming, and you do it well
No surprises

I was off missing, and it's not what it seems
You were sewn into every single fiber of me
Will it tear
If I'm never there?

If I wasn't there
If I wasn't there
