Music & Lyrics by Danielle Knibbe

lyrics

I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung or books I’ve never read
I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone or the paths I’ll never tread
But I believe though I cannot prove it true
I would feel the absence of you

If we’d never met or said hello
Would a part of me have always known?
I suspect your name is written in the marrow of my bones
After other lips had kissed me
Would I notice something missing?

I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung or books I’ve never read
I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone or the paths I’ll never tread
But I believe though I cannot prove it true
I would feel the absence of you

In another life where there was no you and me
And we had settled down with others happily
What if one day on the street our eyes meet accidentally
Would it hit me like a freight train?
A sudden ache that I could not explain

I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung or books I’ve never read
I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone or the paths I’ll never tread
But I believe though I cannot prove it true
I would feel the absence of you

For I knew from that first minute
My life was meant to have you in it

I don’t miss songs I’ve never sung or books I’ve never read
I don’t mourn all I’ve left undone or the paths I’ll never tread
But I believe though I cannot prove it true
I would feel the absence of you, I would feel the absence of you
