Highlights Lyrics

Where were you when I was broken?
When I was learning not everybody’s nice
Where were you when I was empty?
When I had no one else to turn to for advice
I’m not angry anymore for what you did
But who does that to a kid
You love me when it’s easy
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlights on again
And it’s been this way my whole life
Sometimes it feels like
You only love me for the highlights
Where were you when I was sleepless?
Watching street lights turning off
Cause you were there for birthday cakes and had a smile on your face
But where were you when I lost?
I won’t blame you for the person I’ve become
But you made it hard to trust someone
You love me when it’s easy
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlights on again
And it’s been this way my whole life
Sometimes it feels like
You only love me for the highlights
Do you ever wish you stayed?
Do you ever turn around?
Do you ever wish you knew the person I am now?
