i lay alone at night wondering how i got here. single mom with 2 kids.
i cry in the dark, can you hear me?
i sit alone, watching my girls grow.
hating their father for messing things up.
why couldn't he just come home?
i watch my kids crying for their dad.
why dosen't he pay attention?
they starve for his attention, but he looks away.
why can he not see what hes losing?
sometimes i drink to numb the pain,
sometimes i drink to keep sane.
i hurt so bad, the pain swallowing me whole,
in the dark of night, do you hear my screams?
i keep to myself, trying to do whats right,
though the right choice is a lonely one.
i want to throw everything down and just quit,
but who will pick things up if i do?
so in the dark of night, i lay alone.
do you hear me cry?
as the darkness swallows me alive.
