You Broke My Heart
You broke my heart when you didn't
Come see me on my fourth birthday
You hurt me so bad, I cried and I don't
Understand why you did me that way
You promised me that you would come help
Me with my gifts and cutting my birthday cake
Among all of the other that you've don e in my life
You lied to me, and that is just another mistake
Everyday, I think to myself, and I alwayz wonder
What my life would be like living with you
Would you show me that you cared? Would you
Show me love? Would you know what to do?
When I think about the way my life started a young one
I feel like I had been sold, because I wasn't wanted by anyone
I hope you know that you broke my heart in so many ways
I've a strong feeling that you didn't want me anyways
It really never came to my mind that
My heart would be broken by my own mother
But I thank God for the gift of having another
