A Tough Life (Really Happened To Me)

At a very young age we don't know what's going on we all cry for our mother's voice and we sleep to her lullaby What a very strange thing to wake up to another man's fight What a scary thing to be alone from mother tonight You were never there when i screamed your name mom don't you feel the shame grandma raised me up but i wanted you to come Waiting at the skating rink you told my teacher you'd be here for me but i've been waiting thirty minutes and my classmates are all staring Now dad is calling and your fighting for us Brother is crying and it's ripping us apart i hate that this world how could it be so cruel as to make me and brother to go through that What a difference it makes to not have your mother to cry at night smothered by your pillow and to raise your own brother I Forgive You Mom.......
