The Mother I Never Knew

The years have passed
and tears have flowed
but i can't last
i need to know
what happened to you
why haven't you called
do you know how i feel
do you care at all
why did you do the things you did
didn't you know
we were only kids
i sit here every night
and i think of you
i think about the fights
and what i couldn't do
but i could love you
and i hope that it did show
because you were my mamma
you were my hero
you gave me your best
and i gave you my heart
but it didn't last
because we were torn apart
i wish there were some way
that we could see each other
because i am your daughter
and you are my mother
the more i think of you
and i do it every night
the more i know i miss you
and i need you in my life
