Where were you
When i needed you
I know mom needed you
But i needed you too
Growing up
I needed guidance
And support from you
I was searching for the time
I couldn't get from you
All your time and attention
Mom was getting from you
Lived with grandma
As a kid
Wasn't living with you
Was it me
Was it mom
Or was it you
I don't know
I was only a little kid
So confused
I wanted to be close to you
But i was ghost to you
You didn't teach me
What a real man is supposed to do
Times got hard
Stood tall on my feet
Days turned dark
Found light
Before i lost me
No family dinner time
Just fast food
But i don't hate you
I respect you
I'm suppose to
I still love you
And forgive you
That's the right thing to do
But there's a place inside my heart
That still looks for you
Dad
Where were you
When i needed you
Where were you
When i needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
Where were you
When i needed you
I needed home cooked meals
And more time from you
I was searching for the love
I couldn't get from you
All the time and attention
Dad was giving to you
Lived with grandma
As a kid
Wasn't living with you
Drugs took ahold of you
I became ghost to you
It breaks my heart
That i was never really close to you
You went to jail
It was sad
When i visit you
I'm the youngest kid
What do i mean to you
Do i mean a thing to you
Or am i just a thing to you
One day i hope you change
To be a better you
I believe you can
You just gotta want it to
Growing up
I didn't have you
Like i needed to
But i don't hate you
I respect you
I'm suppose to
I still love you
And forgive you
That's the right thing to do
But there's a place inside my heart
That still looks for you
Mom
Where were you
When i needed you
Where were you
When i needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
I needed you
Do you really care for me
I can't tell
I needed you
You wasn't there for me
I needed time
I needed love
You wasn't there for me
Cried tears all alone
You wasn't there for me
Still looking for the love
That wasn't given to me
Still looking for the time
That wasn't shared with me
I love you with all my heart
And still care for you
When you need me
Let me know
And I'll be there for you
