Thi Sl I Needed You Lyrics

[Verse 1 '" Thi'sl]
You weren't there to teach me to run and teach me to fight
I remember Momma lied and said you sent me a bike
Where were you when I was crying in the midst of the night?
I needed you to show me how to make it through life
I kept asking Momma, 'when were you coming?'
My birthdates came, and you ain't seen me nothing
I used to be jealous of my own little brother
He had what I wanted, a daddy and a mother
His daddy was a G though, he showed me love too
It wasn't what I needed, 'cause he wasn't you
All I ever needed was you holding me close
But you always let me down when I needed you most

[Chorus '" Brian Owens]
Where were you when I needed you?
When I couldn't find my way?
All the days that I needed you
When I couldn't find my way
I don't know, I don't know
Don't know where I go from here

[Verse 2 '" Thi'sl]
No matter what you do, I could never hate you
I just wanted you to come, and I was waiting patient
But you never showed up, and I just got older
The world got rougher, my heart got colder
But I still didn't hate you, you can ask Momma
Remember when I called you in all that drama?
I told you that I love you and that I needed help
But you never showed up, you just left me to myself
Please help me understand
I never felt like you loved me 'cause I never heard you say it
And though you hurt me growing up, I'm letting it go
And even though I'm grown now, I need you the most
I still need you ...

[Chorus '" Brian Owens]
Where were you when I needed you?
When I couldn't find my way?
All the days that I needed you
When I couldn't find my way

[Hook '" Brian Owens]
Where were you? Where were you?
Where were you when I needed you?
Where were you? Where were you?
I give up, I'm forgiving you
Oooooohhhhh ...
Where were you when I needed you?
When I couldn't find my way?

[Chorus '" Brian Owens]
Where were you when I needed you?
When I couldn't find my way?
All the days that I needed you
When I couldn't find my way
(Repeat)
