Hear what I say The situation was a love gone bad Left her cold naked on a rainy day He pulled in the driveway Two o'clock with the gun that he shot Ran to the front door, hid it under tiled floor He heard the sirens far away Cocked the one that he used on his son Feeling kinda sorry for the things that he's done
Her earrings float away Her body's pale and grey But Momma will not call And children will not crawl Her earrings float away Her body's pale and grey But Momma will not call And children will not crawl
Lights around the block Tiptoe to the bathroom door Barefoot, naked, see her body on the floor You go ahead and cry some more The little girl with her eyes so sore Cries out, "Daddy, I don't want to leave this world" He hears the angels scream, he says "Would you open up your wings Don't let her breathe Cause if it's all a dream," he says "Pinch me, wake me, shake me But take me somewhere I can't see"
And take the blood on my shirt and shoes And tell me what went wrong I want to see you cry, I want to see you cry And take the blood on my shirt and shoes No no no no no no no no, no, no, no I want to see you cry
It's geting hard to shake Three dead as he lays in his bed Open blinds, sees the light, now he's awake There's so much his heart can take As sweat bleeds in the pores of his face Then she rises, just to ask if he's OK She's blue-eyed and open wide He cried out, "I love you" as the sun did hit the sky He picked up his little girl Said "goodbye" as he looks in her eye "And don't worry, baby, dream of bright blue skies"
Take the blood on my shirt and shoes And tell me what went wrong I want to see you cry, I want to see you cry And take the blood on my shirt and shoes No no no no no no no no, no, no, no I want to see you cry I want to see you cry I want to see you cry I want to see you cry Cry
