You never knew me

Cause you never were around

Lost in a memory

Doesn't mean much to me now

You gave me a name

And the blood in my veins

But you

You never had time for me

Whoever you are

It's true

Slipping through society

Where were you when I learned to walk

Where were you when I got lost

Where were you when I left school

Where were you when I wasn't cool

And you

You never had time for me

Whoever you are

It's true

Slippin through society

The warm winds of summer

Came up from the south

As I wait for hours

On the front steps of the house

Well, I waited all day

But nobody came

And you

You never had time for me

Wherever you are

It's true

Something I just can't see

In the back of my mind

Lost forever

Where were you when I lost my job

Where were you when I had no god

Where were you when it all failed

Where were you when I went to jail

And you

You never had time for me

Wherever you are

It's true

Slipping through society

It's been a long life

And you

You never had time for me

Lost forever

Lost forever
