- You Were Not There For Me, amateur translation of "Du var inte där för mig", by Lisa Ekdahl
- I fell, but did you catch me? Oh, no
- You turned around and left to go home
- As I was brutally shattered,
- You didn't turn around
- Though you had asked me to jump
- Though you had whispered, "Come!"
- Afterwards, I don't think that you saw
- How broken I was where I lay
- I could be wrong but it looked as if you smiled
- And I thought: if I die it will have been for that smile
- And I remember looking down from a dizzying height
- I saw you down there - smiling and content
- I thought you had came out to meet me on the way
- But halfway through the air I saw I was mistaken
- You were not there for me
- I fell as if believing me to be
- Invulnerable, protected by you
- I didn't know back then that a "yes" can turn to "no"
- But halfway through the air I saw that you had changed your mind
- You turned and left without hesitation
- You left without meeting my eyes
- I could be wrong but it looked as if you smiled
- And I thought: if I die it will have been for that smile
- And I remember looking down from a dizzying height... (repeat)
