Testo Where Were You

Daddy why did you do that to mommy?

You said if we hit somebody we're suppose to say sorry

But you never say sorry daddy you yell now

Why did you tell that man that mommy just fell down
Mommy didn't fall down daddy's lying

Mommy why are you always sad and always crying?

Daddy why are you always mad you always fighting?

Why do you always say I'm bad even when I'm trying?

No I don't want to go to my room

I don't want to go to bed now I want to be with you

I don't want to daddy it's to early

I didn't mean it daddy I'm sorry I'm sorry
I promise I'll never say that again

I'm sorry daddy please don't hit me again

Please I'll be a good boy now

Don't put me in the room please don't turn the lights out

(what did I do?

I'm sorry daddy that's all I want to say to you)

CHORUS

Where?where were you? just when I needed you

Daddy where were you

Where?where were you?just when I needed you

Mommy where were you

(golden child)

What up pops I ain't got to tell you my heart is as hard as a rock

Things have changed since I was the age six

Yet some situations stay the same

Like the way I conceal my pain

Growing up I'd swear my name was every profane thing a man could say

I used to make excuses like you weren't the one that hit her

It was just the liquor in ya

My dad the perfect example of hatred and why am I so bitter?

Ya told me real men don't cry that was a lie

You don't realize what goes on inside of my mind

As time passed my heart ran cold my emotions froze

Lost track of the bruises and the broken bones

Just once wanted to hear that you loved me

Wrap your arms around me and hug me yeah right

Remember the first time I couldnt feel the pain

It was when grandma came and took me to church

Where God relieved the hurt and he knows it took work

But I forgave you he could save you but the question is

Will you let him in it would be such a blessing

To see you as a changed man and holdin my mother's hand

CHORUS
