So much I need to know.
Like why did you just get up and leave me,
All those years ago?
Mommy, didn't you love me?
Wasn't I good enough?
Our love should have kept us together,
Even though life can be tough.
Mommy, was I always naughty?
Was I always so bad?
Why did you just give me away?
Didn't that make you sad?
Mommy, tell me the truth, was I a mistake?
Something that shouldn't be?
Mommy, was I something you didn't want?
Mommy, do you love me?
Mommy, why do I have another mother?
What is her role in my life?
You are the one that gave birth to me,
To be without you isn't right.
Mommy, who is my Daddy?
And where is he now?
Did he know you gave me away?
How could he let you, how?
Mommy, I'm sorry I didn't find you sooner,
But you should have looked for me.
'Cause now my questions will remain unanswered,
There's a missing part of me.

I thought I was doing good.
I thought I was doing the right thing,
The only thing I could.
Baby, you were never naughty,
You are not to blame.
I kept looking for a miracle,
But one just never came.
Baby, please believe me when I tell you,
I wanted you with all my heart.
And if there was any way I could have kept you,
We'd have never been apart.
Baby, I knew I couldn't look after you,
Not the way you should be.
I couldn't give you the life you deserved,
And that understanding hurt me.
So baby, I gave you to another,
One who would love you like her own.
You didn't see the tears streaming down my face,
You didn't hear my painful moans.
Baby, I don't know where your Daddy is,
I haven't seen him in years.
And although he loved you very much,
He was held back by fear.
Baby, I'm sorry I never looked for you,
But I didn't want to cause you pain.
I didn't want to try and get to know you,
In case you didn't feel the same.
But baby, know that I always loved you,
And never forgot your face.
And although now death has stopped us from meeting,
Please keep my memory in a safe place.
