Daniel Romano - Middle Child lyrics

rate me

I was left alone,

A long time ago

By my mother who I never got to know

Faded memories of my life

Have been washed in whiskey nights

And I’m living at the bottom of the bottle

I’ve spent my life on a bar stool all alone

Never knowing why she sent me from my home

Was there something wrong with me?

That no one else could see

What’s the reason

Only I got turned away

[Chorus]

Mama please tell me why

You would leave just me behind

You sent me off and then you went and have my brothers

Before me, a little girl

And they’re the center of your world

Mama tell me why’d you leave the middle child?

I should’ve gone back home

And ask her to her face

But my live's become too much of a disgrace

And I got the news today

Saying mama passed away

So I’ll never know the reason I’m alone

[Chorus]

Mama please tell me why

You would leave just me behind

You sent me off and then you went and have my brothers

Before me, a little girl

And they’re the center of your world

Mama tell me why’d you leave the middle child?

Mama tell me why’d you leave the middle child?
