Artist/Band: Paul Weller
Lyrics for Song: I Should Have Been There To Inspire You
Lyrics for Album: Heavy Soul [1997]



Nothing I'd say or I could do

Could move the mountains from your view

Nothing I see or I could show

There's only darkness now I know



I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you – told you truthful too



I could have been there within your reach

This is not self pity of which I speak

I never took the time to see you grown

I never took the care it takes to know

Never took the time to see what you'd found

But always had the time to bring you down



I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you – told you truthful too



I should have been there



More than all this I do not know

Only that love is here to show

Someone a world, to be themselves

A place to fall when all else fails

And friends harsh words cut deep and sore

But believe me mine will hurt me more

In those moments before I sleep

When I am truly alone to see



I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I should have been there to inspire you

Not paint your world a cold, cold blue

I should have been there to inspire you

I could have told you truthful too

I believed in you – told you truthful too



Oh I believed in you

Yeah I believed in you
