Lyrics
He walked through the door, she wanted us to be happy, he lived like a king even though we were piss poor
And she d show me how to do it, i can remember my mother smiling
Why don t you ever smile, it was the saddest smile i ever saw in my life
my outside ached
she wanted us to be happy
But the old man was under attack and was weak, having goldfish that circled around in a bowl Floor, a white picket fence was built around a pit of snakes
and the three of us watched as my mother smiled
It hurt worse than death but for her sake i tried, i tried to be strong and careful what i wished for
The long leather belt had replaced his tongue, the long leather belt had replaced his tongue 65, but the old man was under attack and was weak
asking me always
A white picket fence was built around a pit of snakes, my hometown was scrappy, it hurt worse than death but for her sake i tried
And she d show me how to do it, i can remember being seven years old Buck, i can remember being seven years old
Asking me always, asking me always, he lived like a king even though we were piss poor
my outside ached
And continued to beat us several times a week, more than anything
it s better to be happy if possible
It hurt worse than death but for her sake i tried, my inside stung
i can remember being seven years old
My inside stung, worn out and faded 65, but the old man was under attack and was weak
The poor fish, both a wonder and frightening
the poor fish
floating on the water in the bowl
the long leather belt had replaced his tongue
And threw those fish to the cat on the kitchen floor, wanting to be happy
Little to eat and back and forth to the hospital, but the old man was under attack and was weak, having goldfish that circled around in a bowl
and threw those fish to the cat on the kitchen floor
mother and wife
And the three of us watched as my mother smiled, it s better to be happy if possible
The long leather belt had replaced his tongue, worn out and faded, the thunder and lightning
She was right, i can remember my mother smiling
my outside ached
it s better to be happy if possible
I can remember being seven years old, both a wonder and frightening, and the window
the dark brown everything
floating on the water in the bowl
But the old man was under attack and was weak, charades and parades for the raging inferno
And the three of us watched as my mother smiled, my outside ached Buck, the poor fish
Asking me always, the dark brown everything
i tried to be strong and careful what i wished for
Why don t you ever smile, and continued to beat us several times a week Floor, and the three of us watched as my mother smiled
I can remember my mother smiling, not knowing how to run or how to hit the brakes, and the three of us watched as my mother smiled
And when my father came home, staging eternal
Both a wonder and frightening, my outside ached, and the window
Floating on the water in the bowl, the long leather belt had replaced his tongue, the poor fish
my inside stung
and she d show me how to do it
the thunder and lightning
and threw those fish to the cat on the kitchen floor
Worn out and faded, it hurt worse than death but for her sake i tried, and the window
My hometown was scrappy, she wanted us to be happy
Charades and parades for the raging inferno, the dark brown everything
And when my father came home, she wanted us to be happy
She wanted us to be happy, and when my father came home
The thunder and lightning, it hurt worse than death but for her sake i tried
Not knowing how to run or how to hit the brakes, the long leather belt had replaced his tongue, i can remember being seven years old
And the three of us watched as my mother smiled, i remember the table, she was right
I can remember my mother smiling, the long leather belt had replaced his tongue
Why don t you ever smile, she wanted us to be happy, i tried to be strong and careful what i wished for
