I was alone when you
took me home and I was alone
and scared when no one
was there to comfort me. I was
alone when you didn’t love me
the same. I was alone when
you weren’t there to love me!
I was alone when you
didn’t come home. I was alone
and didn’t have anyone to love
or to comfort me, I was alone
when you didn’t believe in me.
I was alone when you
left no food to eat. I was alone
when I had to find something to eat.
I was alone, when you didn’t care
for your kids, I was alone crying
when you didn’t care for anyone.
