You Weren't There Video (MV)

Heart beats fade away
But all these screams still echo loud
Mother you're so blind
The child you had is now a man
Silence fills his heart
His wants for you, have turned to hate
Had you only known
The loss you felt became his shame
Now words burn inside his soul
Live and let die, to each his own
The childhood fears have passed for him
His calloused feet are turning cold
You weren't there to tuck him in
You weren't there it's your only sin
You weren't there to hear his cries
You weren't there it's your final sigh
You weren't there to tuck him in
You weren't there it's your only sin
You weren't there to hear his cries
You weren't there it's your final sigh
The boy has learned to kill
Perhaps he's learned inside the home
The child has learned to steal
The things he never had to own
Blood may fill his veins
But in his eyes a final lie
Anger clouds his mind
But no one seems to see his strife
Reflections twist a child's soul
Loneliness has paid its toll
His solitude, his hate has grown
The damaged child that you disowned
You weren't there to tuck him in
You weren't there it's your only sin
You weren't there to hear his cries
You weren't there it's your final sigh
You weren't there to tuck him in
You weren't there it's your only sin
You weren't there to hear his cries
You weren't there it's your final sigh
As I walk from my cell
To my final chair
I start to even wonder
If it's really there
I start to imagine
That I'm just a little kid again
And there you finally are momma
There to tuck me in
