I'll close my eyes tight,
and sing my lullaby,
listen to Daddy yelling,
listen to Mommy cry,
I'll rock back and forth,
as I sing my little song,
I'll try to block it out,
to ignore whats going on.
Every night i hear this,
I hear them fighting out the truth,
and every night i run and hide,
dreading when its finally through.
Cuz once the fightings over,
and Daddy turns to leave..
Mommy comes back down the hall,
Mommy turns to me,
She looks straight into my eyes,
She tells me i was her mistake,
I've heard it all before,
but its not my fault i know,
I blame fate...
I'm just begging her to love me,
to open up her eyes,
its not me that she hates,
its daddy and his lies,
but mommy doesn't see that,
she just kills me with fists and words,
its not all the cuts and bruises,
its what she says that hurts,
and once daddy gets home,
mommy runs straight to him,
jumping down his booze-filled throat,
here we go again..
daddy doesnt even see me,
as i crouch near the wall,
he doesn't see the bruises and cuts,
doesn't hear me try to call,
the fighting just continues,
so do my silent pleas,
I'm begging him to stay this time,
so she wont turn to me....
