NEVER THERE

I sit at home
at the top of the stairs
I'm really beginning to think
that nobody cares

I try to think of better times
when i was the daughter of your dreams
now nothing i do is good enough
at least thats how it seems

tell me what i need to do
to make it so you care
you never loved me
but i was always there

i never turned my back on you
through the hardest of times
i cant even talk to you
so i express my feelings through my rhymes

i'll try to be perfect
if thats what i need to do
just to hear you say
that you love me too

the only thing you ever do
is make me feel all alone
so until then i'll sit and hope
for the day that you come home

you left me when i was a little girl
and i remember feeling sad
but at least i can say
that i have a loving dad

he was always there for me
and where were you?
maybe it's the fact that you didnt care
and had better things to do

so when you feel like coming around
to stay right by my side
i promise i wont be like you
and go to run and hide.

maybe you can write me a letter
to let me know you're doing well
because you dont want anything to do with me
i never can tell

what do i have to do
to make you notice me?
want me to write the words "i miss you mom"
across the sky for all to see?

because ill do it
just to prove my point
but you probably wouldn't see it anyways
you'd be too busy smoking your joint

now that i think of it
you're really not worth my time
i have shown you all the love i have to give
but now where is mine?

so heres the end to this story about my mom
i guess my dad is right
you never cared all along.
