I Cry Motherly Tears

When I sleep at night it's your face I see, Living for your addictions and not me. It's your fears I hear, Not my own or anyone else's. All because I cry motherly tears. My knowledge is far beyond my years, Your life is my fear. And yet i'm supposed to be the child, And I live for you and me both? You don't know the pain your causing me, All I ask for is to be free. So when I cry , I cry motherly tears. Your the parent and I'm the child, Your the hot and I'm mild. I cry motherly tears cause, It's your face i wear, Your voice i hear, And your soul I care. All cause I cry motherly tears.
