i was in a belly once
waited for the sound of my mothers arms
all i heard were her words
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
i met a girl once
kissed her on the hood of her car
walked her home like any man should
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
i had a father once
i let him live alone
found his clothes in the trunk of his car
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
i had a place once
thought i could call my own
grew ashamed at the way it was run
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
we were young once
but we grew hard and cold
told each other we'd be better off alone
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
couldn't you have loved me more
