► “Never There” is a song by Canadian rock band Sum 41, written by Deryck Whibley. It was released as the third single from the album Order in Decline on June 18, 2019.
In an interview Deryck Whibley described the writing process, he said:
“I never wanted to write this song, it just kind of poured out of me. I tried to fight it at first but there was no stopping it. I could tell I was writing about my dad, who I’ve never met and throughout my life it has always been a subject that I don’t really think about or care about. It has never really bothered me and when I started thinking about why it never bothered me, I realized it was because my mum was so great and I have such a loving relationship with her. She was so strong as a single mother for my whole life that I never needed to think about my dad.”
► Never There – Sum 41 – Lyrics:
Do you think about me cause I don’t have any doubt
You must in this life
Even though you’re never there, I didn’t feel you disappear
From sight, you did it well
And now you and I share the same life missing out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if I
I had the chance, I’d let you know that I understand
I’ve let you go
I don’t need you by my side I think by now I’m doin’ fine
Myself, on my own
And I feel you time to time, like you’re sending outta sign
I can tell you’re not alone
Because you and I share the same life missing out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if the
The chance appears I’d have no fears
We both share pain, we feel the same
And now you and I share the same life missing out
And so the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if I
I had the chance, I’d let you know that I understand
I’ve let you go
You and I share the same life missing out
So the story goes
That we’re left, we’re stuck with a broken house
I know that if the
The chance appears, well I’d have no fears
We both share pain, we feel the same
