Never Was There for Me

You see, when I was growing up
Never had a father in the house
Had a mother who was taking care of me
Being the one single-handedly

I’m the type to be so sensitive
I’ve always been strong
But how am I not supposed to be sensitive
When I care so much

You never was there for me
Never were there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
Never was there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
You were never
Never there for me

Felt like never having a father figure in the home
Made me realize what I became today
I don’t know
But I know I shouldn’t feel bad anyway

Somebody always telling me I’m “too this”
Or I’m “too that”
Why can’t I just be honest with everybody
That’s why I get so defensive, if you understood me, I wouldn’t be like this

You never was there for me
Never were there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
Never was there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
You were never
Never there for me
You never was there for me (You were never there for me)
Never were there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
Never was there for me (There for me)
Never was there for me
You were never
Never there for me (There for me)

Struggling with my identity
Crying in the bathroom
Having crazy thoughts
I show this funny side to everybody
When nobody knows the other side of me
I don’t want to feel vulnerable
I feel that everybody would go after me
I pray for myself
I want to be honest, but I can’t be honest with myself, no no no no no

You never was there for me (You were never there for me)
Never were there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
Never was there for me (You were never)
Never was there for me
You were never (There for me, never there for me)
Never there for me
You never was there for me
Never were there for me
Never was there for me
You were never
Never was there for me (Me)
Never was there for me
You were never
Never there for me (You were never there for me)

Uh-oh, uh-oh, oh, oh, oh
