Verse
Told myself I never would face it
Like when dude got left on the pavement
He was young he didn’t deserve it
But the thugs they didn’t even know him
I was 10 when my momma told me
That my dad had left without a warning
Packed his bags and left in the morning
No goodbyes, he wasn’t returning
And my girl was no longer calling
Guess she went out and found what’s her calling
Told my myself it didn’t concern me
Independence was what I was learning
Yeah the pain was what I was earning
Wish the tables would go through a turning
All my friends they left me in hurting
But by then I was tired of mourning
Hook
When I wake up in the morning it don’t do no favors
What is there to live for when you're so full of anger?
Family, got none you see they’re all just strangers
Where is my emotion? I’m just going through the motions
Verse
How am I? I’m hidden, I’m masking
But I do thank you for asking
Heaven then hell my moods their drastic
Four in one I’m feeling fantastic
My mind’s gone the daze it’s tragic
Been so long, I can’t imagine
How it feels to be with passion
Numbness is all I can cash in
Pain is what I’m out here earning
Wish the tables would go turning
All my friends they left me hurting
Now I’m tired of the mourning

Where is my emotion? I’m just going through the motions
Family, got none you see they’re all just strangers
Where is my emotion? I’m just going through the motions
