You were never there.
Never.
You say I'm lying
but you know
as well as I
that its the truth.
I've never had you, had I?
I've never had whats rightfully mine
You were never there
Not when I fell
not when I cried
Not when I took my first step
You are never there
are you?
You're too busy
with your new husband
with your new daughter
with your new job
with your new life
Did you know
that I was born?
Did you?
Did you know, that I'm alive?
Did you know, that I'm standing here?
You were never there
NEver
YOu say I'm lying
you say I'm ungrateful
You say I'm talking nonsense
but you were never there
and you knew it
everyone knew it
You were never there
for me
I never had you
I was alone, wasn't I?
Because you were too busy
with your new life
too busy
for me.
Well, I'll tell you one thing
one thing, Mommy,
I never had you
I never had you
Did you know I was born
Mommy?
Did you?
Did you know that I exist?
That I breath air, gleam life?
You were never there
Never
