Prompt / Lyrics
I was four when you left me I didn’t know or understand what was happening cramped in a car with my brothers from houston to Missouri afraid, hugging that teddy bear that someone gave me for the ride I learned to live without you what a terrible thing to do But i was just a lonely little boy Didn’t know how to miss you I’m sure I asked a thousand times Where is my mom But after a thousand cries I didn’t ask anymore I didn’t ask anymore every birthday on the farm I wondered where you were sometimes a card would come but then there were no more I grew and tried to cope with that emptiness inside I wondered why you didn’t come I wondered if you tried I learned to live without you what a terrible thing to do But i was just a lonely little boy Didn’t know how to miss you I’m sure I asked a thousand times Where is my mom But after a thousand cries I didn’t ask anymore I didn’t ask anymore When I went off to college I had a change of heart I wrote a little letter at least it was a start You said that you were sorry That that was long ago But deep within my heart I couldn’t let it go I learned to live without you what a terrible thing to do But i was just a lonely little boy Didn’t know how to miss you I’m sure I asked a thousand times Where is my mom But after a thousand cries I didn’t ask anymore I didn’t ask anymore
