You Let Me Down
I waited every day
Hoping to see your face,
But I never saw it again.
You were supposed to
Be there for me, you were
Supposed to love me.
Momma, what did I
Do wrong? Why didn't
You love me anymore?
You left me with strangers,
Walked away from me
When I needed you to stay.
You let me down
In the worst possible way,
It hurt so much.
Even now my beating heart
Still breaks when I think
Back on those days.
Those days when I waited
To see your face just one
More time but never did.
Those days when I wished
You were her, hugging me,
Telling me she loved me.
But it's over now and I'm
Doing okay, I swear that
I will never be just like you.
You who chose her drugs
And alcohol over the one
Thing you should've chosen.
But it's too late for regrets,
And it's funny, after all this
Time, I can't seem to hate you...
