Does He Care

(verse 1)
I knew my parents were destined to part
It didn't phase me, but it broke my heart
Watching the chaos, the drugs and the screams 
No child should witness such shattered dreams

(Pre-Chorus)
He lashed out in rage, couldn't hold himself up right
Fell to the floor, lost in the night 
But does he even care, does he see my tears
Does he know the weight of all my fears 

(Chorus) 
Does he care that I was taken away
Cried every night in the shelter, I prayed 
Sent to live with strangers, feeling so small
Wishing for love, but feeling nothing at all
Does he care about me, does he love me still
After all the pain, I just want him to heal

(Verse 2) 
I wanted to die, felt so alone
In a world full of shadows, I was on my own
But through all the hurt, through the darkest of days,
I still hold on to love in so many ways 

(Pre-Chorus) 
I wish him the best, though it's hard to explain 
How I carry his scars, how I carry the pain
But does he even care, does he feel my heart 
Or am I just a memory, torn apart

(Chorus) 
Does he care that I was taken away
Cried every night in the shelter, I prayed 
Sent to live with strangers, feeling so small
Wishing for love, but feeling nothing at all
Does he care about me, does he love me still
After all the pain, I just want him to heal

(Outro) 
Does he care, does he know
The love that I carry, the pain that won't go
I wish him the best, though it's hard to explain 
In the silence of love, I still feel the pain
