Cry

For lifetimes, I cry and cry
My life, I don’t know why I’ve died and died
I don’t know why
I don’t know why

I can’t stand seeing my mother with another
I want my mother with my father
I don’t understand where it went wrong
My mother always told me to be strong, to be strong

But I cry so easy
Every time I think of my mother with another man I feel uneasy
Every time I think of my father with another woman I feel uneasy
I don’t know how they can keep secrets so easy
But then I see the blood drip from my wrist and I understand that secrets can be easy

I just cry and think why? Why? Why?
Tears fall from my eye
My sister and I hold one another and just cry
I don’t know what to say, so I cut another slit into my thigh
I hold on, cause I know one day I'll be fine

I don’t talk to my mom and dad
Our family torn apart, just like a family story gone bad

I never thought it would happen to me
“Please stay together, mom and dad,” I plea
It’s no use, they can’t hear me
More harm, my heart broke, water drops from my eye, thinking of what could be
