Please, don't cry, mama Or do cry if you feel you gotta I guess I could honor You, if you think I oughta No, I can't fly home tomorrow And I'd be lyin' if I said I wanna I'll try to love all of your sorrow But I can't clear the path you follow ♪ The way you cry at funny movies The way you cry at my tattoo Do you hate the mark he left on me? Do you wish that it was on you? Now I bite the apple you forbade me And I drink the beer you detest All in places you did not picture This nameless gas station in the southwest ♪ All this knowin' just might break me It won't let me rest If only you could just see I only loved you (I only loved you) The way you loved me (the way you loved me) I only loved you my best I know you quietly praise me You're proud of this girl that you raised I know you made the good times so crazy To brace me for a world I could not save
