[Verse 1]
In my sleep I start to weep
Across the bed my fingers creep
And find no one, it isn't fair
To find no one, not find the man
The man who isn't there

[Verse 2]
An empty place, a missing face
Nothing remains, no, not a trace
It hurts when you're the one to care
To care for him, care for the man
The man who isn't there

[Verse 3]
I filled the space with thoughts of him
Of hate and hope, of futures grim
Why did he leave? What did I say?
His image will not fade away
If I had not done something wrong
I don't think it would hurt this long
But now he's gone, and it's too late
Somehow I have to compensate

[Chorus]
A hurting heart, a lonely part of me
That dreads another start
To find another man to share
To share my life, share with a man
A man who will replace the man
The man who isn't there

[Chorus]
A hurting heart, a lonely part of me
That dreads another start
To find another man to share
To share my life, share with a man
A man who will replace the man
The man who isn't there

The man who isn't there
