There are days when he falls
asleep to my tears
because nothing he says
erases my fears
that I’m not good enough
and I’ll never be
because that’s what my momma
always said to me.

I remember the night
I was a girl no more
lying next to my momma
passed out on the floor.
And when I told Daddy that Momma had fell
she looked right at me
and said go to hell.

Now this boy lying next to me
can’t feel my pain
’cause his life’s been too pretty
and his life’s been too plain
And I pray that they day won’t come
when he is like me
Because I want him to live life
Forever happy.
