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 spotlight's 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 the streetlights turning off?
'Cause you were there for birthday cakes
And had a smile on your face
But where were you when I was 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 spotlight's 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'd stayed?
Do you ever turn around?
Do you ever wish you knew,
The person I am now?
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?
But who does that to a kid?
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlight's on again
And it's been this way my whole life
Sometimes it feels like,
You only love me for the highlights
Watching the streetlights turning off?
'Cause you were there for birthday cakes
And had a smile on your face
But where were you when I was lost?
But you made it hard to trust someone
You love me when it looks good to your friends
You love me when you need me
Or anytime the spotlight's 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 turn around?
Do you ever wish you knew,
The person I am now?
