Goddamn talk to her Goddamn talk to her like shes not in third grade She is your daughter adult and wondering Why you don't speak truly And how her brother chose throwing his life away To get you to notice And you just sat and smiled the same I don't know if you've noticed But the pain that's on her skin is growing With every moment spent worried about your loneliness She feels it and i watch it as it grows It grows I'll never understand how hard your life's been It grows But understand you're still in hers It grows I'll never understand how hard your life's been It grows But understand that won't be hers No one understands but you and your children They need a mother who's ready and willing to say: "Sometimes everything is not alright And i have not been alright i have not been alright" Until then it grows And i will watch it as it grows It grows I'll never understand how hard your life's been It grows But understand you're still in hers It grows I'll never understand how hard your life's been It grows But understand that won't be hers
