You should've been here
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
That just aligned
And I would have 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 come back through my memory

How you said you'd be here

You said you'd be here...

Chorus :

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"


Chorus :
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


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 didn't show ?


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


Chorus :
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


Ohhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh

(The moment I knew)
Ohhhh ohhhh
Ohhhh ohhhh


You called me later and said :
"I'm sorry I didn't make it"

And I said : "I'm sorry too"
And that was the moment I knew
