Lyrics Ben Lee – Deep Talk In The Shallow End

If you were here I’d slap you senseless
Then I’d ask you where you’ve been
I’d tell you don’t you know I worry
Sitting up each night in fear

If you were here you’d see the damage done
And then you’d feel the shame
I’d make you understand my pain

If you were ’round I’d show you wounds and scars
The proof that you were here
And then I’d make you cry like I did
If my point still was not clear
If you were here I’d scream and
Maybe trash the room if I had time
And then one single word would break your spirit
Just the same as you broke mine

If you were here you’d realize what you did
Stay for a million years
I’d make you cry my tears

But you’re not here
And I’m not strong
And this whole thing has gone on too long
I need to leave this on my shelf
But instead I say it to myself

If you were here I’d slap you senseless
If only you were here
