Where were you when I was broken?
When I was learning that everybody's nice?
Where were you when I was empty?
When I had no one else to turn to for advice?
I'm not angry anymore for what you did
But who does that to a kid?
You love me when it's easy
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlight's on again
And it's been this way my whole life
Sometimes
it feels like
You only love me for the highlights
Where were you when I was sleepless
Watching the streetlights turning off
Cause you were there for birthday cakes And had a smile on your face
But where were you when I was lost?
I won't blame you for the person I've become
But you made it hard to trust someone
You love me when it's easy
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlight's on again And it's been this way my whole life
Sometimes it feels like
You only love me for the highlights
Do you ever wish you stayed?
Do you ever turn around?
Do you ever wish you knew?
