Mama it happened again He did those things to me made me feel ashamed shh, it’s our little secret Mama, don’t leave me with him What if he comes close If I can feel his breath on my skin Shh, It’s our little secret Mama trenched gashes caress me but I can’t feel it anymore Come a little closer, can’t you see? Shh, it’s our little secret Mama, I cut a little too deep, took too many pills Please let me fall asleep Shh, it’s our little secret Mama, I see you crying "Beloved daughter and friend" I’m not sorry, I was so tired of trying. Shh, it’s our little secret, our little secret, our little secret.

Our little secret
Mama it happened again He did those things to me made me feel ashamed shh, it’s our little secret Mama, don’t leave me with him What if he comes close If I can feel his breath on my skin Shh, It’s our little secret Mama trenched gashes caress me but I can’t feel it anymore Come a little closer, can’t you see? Shh, it’s our little secret Mama, I cut a little too deep, took too many pills Please let me fall asleep Shh, it’s our little secret Mama, I see you crying "Beloved daughter and friend" I’m not sorry, I was so tired of trying. Shh, it’s our little secret, our little secret, our little secret.
