You Left Me Wondering Why
You Left Me (Mum)
Did you not care
That you just left me there
Not wondering why I was scared
As you walked back down the stair
How can a baby ever know
That their parents just sometimes go
And what is the reason for wondering why
That you yourself never had a cry
You could have come back later
When things for you might have been better
But you said that what you wanted
Was for me to forget you
So I know now I was not wanted
Good job though you taught me a lesson
That I can be a better parent
As my own son I love like no other
And even though I am not with his mother
And many decades have since past
We both care and share our son
And its a love that no one else can put asunder
So you my mum have left me wondering
Why did you just leave me to cry?
