Stop fighting! That’s what I scream from my bedroom
It seems like lately now this is all they do
Saying things to each other like shut up and I hate you
But now every word cuts me deep like knives that stab you
I bury my head under the covers cause I have to
Drown out just hearing my mother now tell my dad to
Get out the house I wonder when I’ll get the bad news
I hate it when they scream loud and plus when they shout too
And I can’t stand what I see and I really hate the sound too
As these tears run down my face until I can’t do
Nothing but hope and pray and try to understand to
I guess I’m gonna have to wait do whatever I can do
I lie in bed and shake cause this ain’t what I planned to
Go through plus I’m only six years old too
And I miss you so much and I just want to hold you
But on the day you walked out this is what I told you

Chorus
Oh I miss you so much mommy please don’t go

Well you’re gone but I see you on the weekends
But you and dad right now you really ain’t speaking
And when he drops me off I can just feel the tension
Between you and him but it’s something I don’t mention
Sometimes I close my eyes and I just start pretending
That you’re back together and I begin to imagine
You both pick me up and hold me tight and I’m laughing
But when I open them up I realized it never happened
And deep inside my own mind I just feel so sad and
Most of the times in the night I just wake up crying
Something ain’t right cause at school now I’m fighting
I wish I was someone else and living some other life and
I’ll never forget the day I think I was just nine when
Ya told me the news that you two was divorcing
And I’m a live with you now cause it’s the courts orders and
I said this to my dad just with tears in my eyes that

Chorus
Oh I miss you so much daddy please don’t go

It all changed that year in that one summer
A new family a stepfather and a little brother
New neighborhood new school and a new mother
But how am I gonna make it through now I gots to wonder
But out of nowhere you appeared right there
Placed your hands on my face and just brushed away the tears
Watched it all fade away you just chased away my fears
Showed me always for all days that you’re always here
You told me no matter what my love will never disappear
And there’s more than enough you demonstrated that you cared
Ya shed the blood of your son you didn’t even spare
Gave him up for me even though it wasn’t even fair
Ya hung him up on a tree where everybody could stare
He died so violently naked and just bloody there
It was all just for me nothing ever could just compare
I think back in the day that I used to just declare that...
