Lyrics for I Was Never There

What makes a grown man wanna cry? (Cry, cry, cry, cry) What makes him wanna take his life? Ah, ah (yeah) His happiness is never real (Real, real, real, real) And mindless sex is how he feels, ooh, he heals When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter (it don't matter) It won't matter (matter) When it's time, when it's time, when it's time (time, it's time, babe) It won't matter (it won't matter, babe) It won't matter (ya) It was like he was never there (it was like he was never there) It was like he was gone in thin air (oh) When it's time, when it's time, when it's time, oh, baby It won't matter (it won't matter, baby) It won't matter When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter, it won't matter When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter, it won't matter It was like he was never there It was like he was gone in thin air When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter, it won't matter When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter, it won't matter When it's time, when it's time, when it's time It won't matter, it won't matter Ooh, now I know what love is And I know it ain't you for sure You'd rather something toxic So, I poison myself again, again 'Til I feel nothing In my soul (In my soul) I'm on the edge of something breakin' I feel my mind is slowly fadin' If I keep goin', I won't make it If I keep goin', I won't make it And it's all because of you It's all because of you It's all because of you It's all because of you Woah, woah Don't you, baby, hey It won't matter, baby Don't you know? Don't you know? Ooh, no
