When You Weren't There

When you weren't there
And I could not help myself
Everyday I thought it through
I was hung up like a shelf

Things to be put on me
And never to be seen
Could possibly be
Why you thought I was some queen

So now I think about
the way we were back then
Which makes me even doubt
How this could have been

Every time I look at a couple
And I sit around and stare
Knowing why there was trouble
When you weren't there.
