You should ve been there
Should've burst through the door
With that baby I m right here smile
And it would've felt like
A million little shining stars had just aligned
And I would've been so happy

Christmas lights glisten
I've got my eye on the door
Just waiting for you to walk in
But the time is ticking
People ask me how I ve been 
As I comb back through my memory
How you said you'd be here
You said you'd be here

And it was like slow motion,
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no-one to impress
And they re all laughing
As I m looking around the room
But there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

And the hours pass by
Now I just wanna be alone
But your close friends always seem to know 
When there's something really wrong
So they follow me down the hall
And there in the bathroom
I try not to fall apart
And the sinking feeling starts
As I say hopelessly,
He said he'd be here

And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no-one to impress,
And they re all laughing
And asking me about you
But there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

What do you say 
When tears are streaming down your face
In front of everyone you know
And what do you do 
When the one who means the most to you
Is the one who didnt show

You should've been here
And I would've been so happy

And it was like slow motion
Standing there in my party dress
In red lipstick
With no one to impress
And they're all standing around me singing
Happy birthday to you
But there's one thing missing
And that was the moment I knew

Ooh, I knew

You call me later
And say I m sorry I didnt make it
And I say I m sorry too
And that was the moment I knew
