Description
I've never been good with directionsWalking around with a map under my nose,
Don't know where I'm going
I've always been lost
Never could find my way
Where were you
When I needed your love
Lost, alone,
A broken dove
Can't sing
Still shined with beauty
Or at least
I tried
Taking the sidewalks
To where the world ends
Avoiding the alleys and the backstreets
If there's anything
Momma ever taught me
Is you have to walk it all alone
To get there
Where were you
When he tore me up
Lost, alone,
A broken dove
Afraid to sing
Still shined with beauty
Or at least
I tried
Momma never taught me
The cardinal directions
Always mixing up latitude and longitude
And every time I try to figure it out
The compass always points to you
Where were you
When they watched from above
Lost, alone,
A broken dove
Afraid to sing
Still shined with beauty
Or at least
I tried
I was always left
When I was lost
To learn the routes
Without a soul around
Where were you
When the deed was done
Lost, alone,
A broken dove
Crying
Once shined with beauty
Sentenced
To die
And what did Momma do
When I was gone
And ran away
To the wide, wide world
Where were you
When silence won
Lost, alone,
A broken dove
Dying
Broken time and cruelty
Finding release
Suicide?
I've found myself,
I've found my place
Now that I've told,
I know the way
And if they say my mother called
I'd say I walk this Earth alone
Because I've found my place
A place to call home
A place without you
Isn't quite so cold
Not alone
And a broken dove
With healing wings
Newfound beauty
And it's okay
To sing
