Could you tell me what today is?
I've been sick for quite some time
Could you tell me where I'm going?
I have no place in mind
Could you tell me who I am?
I lost myself years ago
Could you tell me who you are?
I've got nothing left to show

For the sleepless nights and the tiring mornings
Waiting patiently for your spacious return
Just a little girl taking care of her world
Knowing you didn't have a single concern

About the days you'd leave her all alone
Out doing what you thought had no price
Forgetting the bills and the amounts of food
I guess everyone has that uncontrollable vice

Could you tell me who would do that?
To someone so fragile and young
Could you tell me what she thought?
I bet it's "just on the tip of your tongue"
Could you tell me how to keep going?
After suffering such undeserved abuse
Could you tell me why, fucking why?
Don't you dare blame the booze

For the times he can't remember and the ones she can't forget
Remembering that he needs help and she is all he's got
Just a little girl lost in somebody else's bad world
Looking for an easy and fast way out

From the constant hurt and loneliness
Always trying to get him to stay
Can't live in a house that's not a home
He's always going away
