When I needed You the Most

by Analiese   May 23, 2004


I missed you oh so much
And I cried all day and night
When I needed you the most
You were not in sight

I needed you real bad
Needed you to show you cared
That's when I needed you the most
But you were never there

Eventually I understood
You were a very busy guy
At least that's what you said to me
I never thought you'd lie

My best friend was real sick
And yesterday she died
You went out, got drunk- but told me,
You were out of town- you lied

My parents got divorced
And I wished my life would end
When I needed you the most
You were smoking with your friend

My life was out of control
All I wanted was to die
When I needed you the most
You were getting high

I missed you terribly
I was depressed and so alone
When I needed you the most
You were getting stoned

I hadn't seen you in at least a month
You never called-guess you forgot
And when I waited for your call each night
You were smoking pot

I got so sick of not seeing you
So I drove to your house one night
No one answered the door, not right away
Then I saw you turn on a light

You opened the door
As if you knew it was me
But then I think you noticed
That I was angry

You asked me what was wrong
Like you just had no clue
When I told you what was wrong
You did the worst thing you could do

You brushed it away
Like it was no big deal
You didn't care what I thought
You still don't care how I feel

You asked me to a party
That was later on that night
I went along just for the fun
But I knew it wasn't right

As soon as we got there
You ditched me so fast
Who was I to think
Our relationship would last?

I saw you getting drunk and high
And I knew just what to do
I took your car and I went home
I wasn't getting in that car with you

I woke the next morning to a telephone call
They said that you had died
You were drunk and you were driving
And I let it out - I cried

I didn't cry for you though
I cried because I knew
That I would have died in that car
If I had gotten in with you

I cried for the people in the other car
Whose lives you took with yours
And I cried for a love that was never lost
I misunderstood love with closing doors

I never needed you the most
I never needed you at all
I think you were the one who needed me
All you had to do was call...
