When my walls began to cave in.

When it felt like I carried the world on my shoulder.
Where were you?
When things only got tougher as I grew older.

Where were you?
When I finally recieved my first real kiss.

Surely that's something a mother wouldn't miss.

You see it seemed like a gift from up above.

As I watch my friends fade away.

It seems I'm under a vow of silence everyday.

As I watch my life pass me by.

You sit next door, dont you hear me cry?

Now that I'm tempted by things you don't condone.

I'm beginning to grow numb to the world.
Where are you?
I thought I was your little girl.
