My Little Cheap Dictaphone - He's Not There lyrics

[Verse 1] You're away, you are back, we're not talking I'm silent, you're yelling, I can't release it He had nothing to give, he had no sense of care He was out, he was drunk, he was beaten I was scared, feeling hurt, always weaker I had nothing to lose, he had nothing to gain You're no good, you're a wuss, you're a loser When he drank he became the abuser He created wounds that never healed I'm stuck on a road going nowhere I'm lost, in the dark, endless desert Where were you, when I needed you? [Chorus] He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care, taught me not to care, Taught me not to care, taught me not to care [Verse 2] I'm stronger, breath freely Lost my grim, you've released me I'm not stumbling like I was before I was stuck on a road going nowhere I was lost, in the dark, endless desert You were gone, when I needed you? [Chorus] He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care, taught me not to care, Taught me not to care, taught me not to care [Verse 3] (×2) I was so lost for so long Your words got under my skin I was so lost for so long Your words made me feel so small I was so lost for so long Your words got under my skin I was just a little kid I did nothing wrong, I did nothing wrong [Chorus] He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care He's not there, never there His absence taught me not to care, taught me not to care, Taught me not to care, taught me not to care Taught me not to care, taught me not to care Taught me not to care, taught me not to care
