Reflections of your love Have come to wither I thought I'd done my best to memorize A picture fades of you and I together I haven't come to terms With how we said goodbye Did you really care Care at all for me Did you really care Did you care at all for me at all A displaced little girl Wept years in silence And whispered wishes you'd materialize She pressed on night and day To keep on living And tried to many ways To keep her soul alive Did you really care Care enough for me Did you really care Did you care at all for me If I'm not quite good enough Or somehow undeserving of A mother's love You could have had the decency To give me up Before you gave me life Don't you even care Just the slightest little bit for me Cause I really need to feel you cared Even once upon a time for me I need to believe, in my heart of hearts, you care for me I need to understand Why you left me there so helplessly Don't you even care Care at all for me Reflections of your love Have come to wither I thought I'd done my best to memorize
