Look me in the eyes and tell the truth: what was going through your head?
I'd hang up the phone at times, and I'd wish that you were dead
'Cause you were never there
It made me think you never cared
Growing up and it's not fair
I'd turn around and hope to see you there, but you were nowhere to be found

So spare me You're still just a stranger to me

(Broken!)
Will you ever be
(Shadow!)
more than a stranger to me?

The closer I get to you, the harder it hits
Now you walk away Don't look back on family you never had and never will
The closer I get to you the harder it hits, and it hits so hard

I force myself to remember memories that were never there
Your face is a broken shadow
Now all I want is to go home I never did figure out what those words were all about

Tell me! Tell me just how many times you let me down (let down!)
The countless times that I waited for you in vain
Tell me what was going through your head?
Did you second guess those things that were never said?
'Cause you were never there It made me think you never cared
Did you ever care? I guess I'll never know
