• Daddy can't think straight i think he needs help,

    Mommy can't get a break she's all by her self.
    
Sometimes it hurts but it'll be alright.

    Mommy might cry but it's just for tonight
    ,
they say he does drugs 
and that he's a drunk
    
it breaks mommies heart 
to hear the things daddies done.

    

Daddy didn't mean the things that he said
    
the doctors say that it's all in his head.

    Mommy put her whole life on a shelf,

    to take care of you yes she loves you to death.

    

Mommy knows you'll live a better life than her.

    Better than daddy oh the things that she's heard.

    The rumors are true and it kills her inside
t
    o know that this mans the father of a child.

    Daddy came over late late last night.
    Mommy tried to make him leave
    "Your scaring the child."
    Daddy got mad when she told him that.
    He hit her and hit her till the walls painted red.

    The neighbors heard the screams and the cries.
    They closed the curtains and pulled down the blinds,
    then knelt at the bed, prayed to God you were fine.
    They didn't go over, didn't try to help.
    Nobody bothered when they heard daddy yell…
    The bangs and the thuds they all ignored.
    As daddy hurt mommy while she cried next door.

    Daddy took mommies life late that summer night.
    Nobody came, couldn't admit what they'd done.
    That they let a mother die protecting her child
    when nobody would help..

    Today your 16, and the days finally come.
    When you ask where it is, that your mother did run.
    "Where did she go, and why did she leave.
    Where is my mother, tell me oh please.
    I have to know where my mother has gone,
    why did she leave me, what have i done?"

    The time has come for me to decide.
    To tell you the truth or say she's alive.
    In some far off place dancing and smiling.
    Living a new life your mommies begun..

    I can't bare to see you cry.
    To watch a part of you die…
    So i can never tell you, where it is your mommy has gone.
    I can never tell you, the things daddy has done...
