i have find the lyrics but i can't find where to download "you weren't here".
here is the lyrics:
She came home just won the game
Long time struggle she felt faint and dreary
All she wanted was to make you proud
You weren't there
Had his birthday a few days ago
He got some presents, a big party too
And there were congratulation cards
As it used to be for
Not ever one from you
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this every day
I see it in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close their eyes
And miss you once again
She cut herself on that piece of paper
It didn't hurt but she saw the blood
She could need that embrace
You weren't there
Did he have to cry louder?
Would that make you hear him?
You see his heart was broken
For the first time
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this every day
I see it in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close the light
And miss you once again
You cannot turn back time
I wish that too came true
They're making up these stories about you
You weren't there
Distant far away
It's like this every day
I see it in their heads
Wonder if you'll come
Afraid to close the light
And miss you once again
Miss you once again...

Just listened to a short version on lene-marlin.com. 
What a kick! 
Here voice sounded a bit different by the way, or is that just me? |

I love this song!
At first I was a little disappointed though, I had expected a song like Unforgivable Sinner, but already on the 2nd listening I got chills down my back.
Damn, those lyrics are sore!! I have my own mind made up about them, and what they're about (*fingers itching to write the story*) but I wont go into that. Like many of Lene's songs, I dont think this one is from personal experience, but one can never know, right?
Anyway, I found a small insignificant error in the lyrics from YWT that were posted in this thread. In the first verse on the second line I believe she sings "she fulfilled her dream", not "she felt faint and dreary" ... but again... insignificant. The song is so emotionally strong that she could be singing in greek (ir italian for that matter) and I would still catch the vibe. Lol.
Amazing site too btw. I really love how up-to-date and informative it is! And if you need help translating norwegian articles into english, though I'm sure you already have help, I would be more than happy to help. It's all for our fellow fans! =)
huggles,

It was amazing to hear Lenes voice again and after I have heard the song a couple off time I really like it very much.

I love the song, and I feel very optimistic now about the album (especially when it was confirmed that Lene have written all the songs herself).
Just one thing: I'm not really happy with the production on this song. What I loved about PMG was the way Lene's voice was always in the foreground. This time they seem to go for a fuller sound, with less emphasis on Lene's voice. Not sure if that's a good thing. However, I don't agree with those who think that Lene's voice has changed as such, it just sounds different because of this new band-sound. And her English is still not all that easy to understand by the way, but who cares. (By the way I hope she'll sing something in Norwegian one day!)
But overall, the song is great, beautiful, dreamy melody that takes you to another place, the way only Lene can.
Forresten, velkommen, Lene-fans fra Norge. Betryggende at det ihvertfall finnes noen av oss... |

I think the song is too subtle to reach the crowds. This is not another song in the pile, but I do think it demands too much from the listeners. It's not easy listening, and maybe that's a good turn for Ms.Marlin. This song sets a darker tone for her upcoming album.

Yeah, it definitely does! She wasn't exactly miss happy pop chick before, but she's definitely darkened the sound even more. I think that's a good move.. I dunno what the rest of her audience feel about that though. =)
I like it, and predict another mass hysteria lol |

I find that the chorus of You Weren't There sounds so much like something you'd hear from the cranberries

I take back everything I said about the song being too demanding for a general audience. I'm so hocked, It's frightening.
