Nothing matters more than those who depend on you, emotionally or physically. Even if the situation is life or death, you have to be there for them, because they need you.


Sometimes I sit here by myself
Looking out the window
Wondering where you've gone
I know you're here
But your heart and soul
Are a million miles away
On the other side of the world
In a place you call home
(Chorus: You've got two children
Hanging on; you've got
Two shops you're keeping up; and
You need someone to take off your burden and
Somewhere
To call home)
You do everything you can
Rush around every day
On the other hand, you don't
Listen to what I say
I take on your burden, and
Take care of your home
But I know that you know
This isn't where you belong
(Chorus)
He's gone, given away
You didn't want him to stay
You've got a lot of problems
You don't have to face like
(Chorus)

This is about my mom.She's never there for us, and she's originally from China, and I know sometimes she wants to go home. Love you, Mom, even though I don't act like it. Hope you love me, even though you never act like it either.

wow!  I was listening to "Britt Nicole--Don't worry now" while reading this, and I sensed a sort of connection in the two songs.  It was like Britt Nicole was responding to this song of yours :)
