Song Lyrics

My heart aches
I gotta deal with your mistakes
I do what it takes to keep going
But it's your fault I'm no knowing
cause you're not showing
Us correctly
How could you just neglect me
Still you expect me
To do better
With no idea about my task
That's why I had to ask
What about us?
Without you when it's time to rise
How are we suppose to know what to do
What about us?
Don't you see the responsibility
Is gonna be left to me
What about us?
I can't say when it's gonna happen
But I know we gotta change one day
What about us?
Yeah it's true there's no way that we could
Ever make it without you
Still a young man
Seems like time has just flown past
I've grown up too fast
Being influenced
By what a TV might show me
The truth is what you owe me
Till I understand
Cause I know they deceived you too
I can't blame it on you
But I hope you see
Being a man only means
You're also responsible for me
What about us?
Without you when it's time to rise
How are we suppose to know what to do
What about us?
Don't you see the responsibility
Is gonna be left to me
What about us?
I can't say when it's gonna happen
But I know we gotta change one day
What about us?
What do you expect
Would become of me
After all you did
After all we've seen
But we've grown stronger now
Then you thought that we could
No thanks to you we've grown
Did you ever think we would
What about us?
Without you when it's time to rise
How are we suppose to know what to do
What about us?
Don't you see the responsibility
Is gonna be left to me
What about us?
I can't say when it's gonna happen
But I know we gotta change one day
What about us?
