Where were you?
Only twelve years old you upped and you left us to it
She couldn't do it, painted on a smile
And tried to pull herself through this
If the time was right
Then why not just sit down and talk instead of lie?
I used to hear her cry
Wait until we slept to let it out at night
I'm tryna be a man now
But I can't even understand the real life
Tryna be a big boy now
But I can't even get the little things right
Where are you now?
Before you left
You sat us down, tried to make it right but it's all over now
The cuts been left and them scars will stay
They will remain on me much longer than you ever did
I'm tryna be a man now
But I can't even understand the real life
Tryna be a big boy now
But I can't even get the little things right
Where are you now?
I'm tryna be a man now
But I can't even understand the real life
Tryna be a big boy now
But I can't even get the little things right
Where are you now?
Where are you now?
Before you left
You sat us down but where are you now?
Before you left
You sat us down but where are you now?
