I never got to know you

the way I was supposed to

you are not here to give me a hug

and celebrate what I have done

you didn't get to see me graduate

or hear about my very first date

you weren't there to spoil me the way grandmothers do

and I never got to spend any holidays with you

and sometimes I wish I had had more time

to know you before you had died



Chorus

a part of me

will always be empty

because I wish you were here now

and that I could see you somehow



you never were there to watch me grow up

and you were never there to share your love

you never got to hear me laugh and watch me cry

and sometimes I have to wonder why

why I could never have a relationship with you

the way that grandmothers and grandaughters do

and sometimes I wish I had had more time

to know you before you had died

Chorus
