Where were you
When I was four
And I fell down the stairs?
Remember, I broke my arm
And you just didn't care
You only complained
About having to take me to the hospital
And the money it would cost
Where were you
When I was ten
And Buster died
That poor dog
You just pushed me aside
And told me to stop bitching
Because I'd get over it and
I never needed that damn dog anyway
Where were you
When I was sixteen
Any my boyfriend broke up with me
I just needed a hug
But you only made me see
That I wasn't good enough for anybody
And I'm never going to be close to being pretty
Where were you
When I was twenty-nine
And we heard our little one
Cry for the very first time
Our beautiful son
With bright blue eyes
Those thiny hands and feet
And that new baby warmth
Where were you
All through my life
Through laughter and tears
All the birthdays and parties
All those wasted years
Waiting for you to
Hold out your hand and let me know
That you were there
