The Wish

Daddy can you tell me why Mommy said
You weren’t a good Daddy, can you tell me what that meant?
She said lot of things, her face was funny red
She said a lot of things and like she wished you were dead

Mommy can you tell me why Daddy did say
You weren’t a good Mommy, why you crying that way?
He said he had to leave here, that he couldn’t stay
But did I want to go, that it would be ok

And Mommy can you tell me why Daddy’s so sad
I try to be good but he only gets mad
Sometimes I get scared when he’s looking at me
I lay awake at night because I get bad dreams

Chorus : I wish it could be like it used to be
I wish things never changed
I wish that they could see and hear
The Wish I wish for me

Daddy and Mommy used to hold each others hands
I remember it was fun, now I don’t understand
Maybe it’s me, something that I did?
They say my name a lot and they say I’m just a kid

Now Mommy and Daddy never stay at home
I go to Grandma’s house and I feel so all alone
I ask her what it means but she just shakes her head
Makes me say my prayers before I go to bed

Chorus

(E A D G B E)
