Where was I when baby took that leap
Set out for the unknown 
On her little hands and feet
I was in her angel face written in her DNA
For all to see.. a memory

Where was I when everything went down
Feels like I woke up today 
In someone else's town
Paying for someone else's crime 
Doing someone else's time
With my own blood... as if I really could

I guess every house is bound to show its age
After all the burning hours 
Long after every rain
Even the strongest soul's got shadows in its eyes
Well it must be all the these damn goodbyes..
These damn goodbyes

Where was I when everything went dark
Pick your feet up darlin'
You got to find your strongest  part
Open up your child eyes 
See beyond their tired lies
Look inside and do what’s best

I guess every heart is bound to show its age
After all the burning hours 
Long after every rain
Even the strongest soul's got got shadows in its eyes
Well it must be all the these damn goodbyes..
These damn goodbyes
