Verse 1 I used to sit by the window Watching every car go by Mom said you were busy But I still believed the lie I memorized your promises Like they were something true You said you’d send a birthday card But nothing ever came through Pre-Chorus They said you didn’t know Where to find me when you tried But I was in the same old house With my name still on the side Chorus You knew where I was You knew where I’d be Waiting in that little room Hoping you’d come see me I didn’t need the money Didn’t need the gifts I just needed you to show up Just once… just like this Verse 2 Mom would pack a bag again Fighting, yelling, slammed doors I’d run back to the only house That ever felt like home before Like I’d done a thousand times Like I knew the drill Safe inside those quiet walls While everything stood still Pre-Chorus Maybe this time you’d say “Baby, I’m on my way” But the line would go quiet And the hope would fade away Chorus You knew where I was You knew where I’d be Small hands on the window Waiting patiently I didn’t need a hero Didn’t need you to save the day I just needed you to choose me Instead of walking away Bridge I don’t hate you I just don’t understand How a little girl can miss a man Who never missed her back Final Chorus You knew where I was You knew where I’d be But I found where I belong In the arms that stayed with me And I don’t wait anymore For footsteps at the door But somewhere in that little girl She still listens for you Outro You knew where I was You knew where I’d be You just didn’t come
