Waiting By the Window
Some say
That this little girl live the perfect way
They say
She don't have no trouble no worries
But they don't know what happens
Behind close doors
How she feels so alone
How both her parents was on drugs
Momma got clean and
Daddy didn't care
He left them there
Said he had to go get more
He promised he was coming back
She waited by the window for him for
Days,
Months,
Years
He was gone
So now she's 16
She moved on
But some days
She can't help but
Wait by the window....
