Baby don’t cry Momma says to me when the red and blue lights flash and she’s pulled away from me Oreos at the table with the nice officer Can’t remember if it’s a real memory, feels like it is Baby don’t cry Momma says with skinned knees so dry Daddy pushes me on the swing so **** high Why am I afraid of heights? Baby don’t cry Momma says as the black and white cat walks past Promises of broken pieces being mended Fingertips at my backside pressing in Baby don’t cry They all say with kind eyes and slight smiles Baby don’t cry, you’re oh so strong Can’t cry if you don’t even feel sad Baby don’t cry Momma says, slitting two lines into her wrist This is how you show pain, not tears Maybe I should try it myself.

Baby don't cry
Baby don’t cry Momma says to me when the red and blue lights flash and she’s pulled away from me Oreos at the table with the nice officer Can’t remember if it’s a real memory, feels like it is Baby don’t cry Momma says with skinned knees so dry Daddy pushes me on the swing so **** high Why am I afraid of heights? Baby don’t cry Momma says as the black and white cat walks past Promises of broken pieces being mended Fingertips at my backside pressing in Baby don’t cry They all say with kind eyes and slight smiles Baby don’t cry, you’re oh so strong Can’t cry if you don’t even feel sad Baby don’t cry Momma says, slitting two lines into her wrist This is how you show pain, not tears Maybe I should try it myself.
