Stay Together For The Kids

I've never seen this happen
It's always over and done with
I'm the one comforting
Blames already been set in stone
and Im the one who holds them
Im the shoulder to cry on
Im the secret bearer of words

And yet, why can't I get through this?
It seems like this coulld never happen
To someone I truly care about
to someone I thought would make it

You left, with your little girl
my little sister and charge
Im supposed to watch out for her
like a big sister should
but how can I
When I have no clue as to where you are

Your gettinga divorce
didnt see that coming at all
and I don't see how counseling
couldnt help at all
you refuse his please
you refuse to answer the phone
and what I dont get
is you refuse to bring Hannah to me
Yes, she would be with her daddy
all little girls need that
but I need to see her, I want to see her
what dont you get about that?

I know shes not my child
I know shes not my sister
but shes like my sister
like my child
and I could never resist her

I miss her so much
you seem not to care
and I really wish
my little sis was here

But now that your crisis
is out in the open
and you told him wat went wrong
and you said no to all his gifts
to all of his advices
to all of his offers, to make things work

I hear the arguments
of my own two parents
and I hear my mother crying
in the early morning
Im scared that you leaving
began to get my mommy to think
its driving me crazy
to think about this at all
cause I could be dreaming
that wouldnt be fun at all

Im scared of losing my mommy
for she might walk out at any moment.
Im scared that daddy might walk out too
which ever cracks first
I wouldn't know who to choose
I dont think I would want to live with either
the pain would be too much to bear
and I would be like hannah
not understanding the situation, even by a hair

Mommy please dont leave
Daddy pease dont either
work it out
talk it out
make it work for me
I couldnt be strong through it all
If I was I would be a cold rock
with nothing to say
no words coming out
just crying the nights away
crying myself to sleep
nobody would know
nobody would hear
cause I would hide that part of me away
be strong for my brothers
show no fear
we can get through this

so I beg to god
I beg to Jesus
I dont want a divorce in this family
I look at my family tree
no divorce at all, as far as I can see
so let's not make it a first
let somebody else do that
lets make what we have

last.
