Momma please stop cryin, I can't stand the sound.
Your pain is painful, and its tearin' me down.
I hear glasses breakin, as I sit up in my bed.
I told dad u didn't mean those nasty things you
said.
u fight about money, bout me and my brother.
And this I come home pagina to.
This is my shelter.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
It ain't easy.
Growin up in World War III, never knowin what love could be, you'll see.
I don't want love to destroy me like it has done
my family.
-------------------------------------------------------------------

(CAN WE!?)
I promise I'll be better.

No matter what she says its true.
I know that she hurts you, but remember I love

Don't wanna go back to that place, but don't have
no choice, no way!
-------------------------------------------------------------------
