Middle Child Lyrics - Come Cry With Me - Daniel Romano

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 barstool 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? 

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 asked her to her face 

But my life'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
