Hush little baby don't say a word
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird...
Papa's gonna buy you a mockingbird...
This is my chance to remind you how much I hate you. So many dark nights I've had, so many times I've tried to disappear into thin air. Don't you see how disappointed I am? I carry so much shame on my shoulders, so much hurt. How are you so selfish? Don't you see what you've done? Over the years I have forgotten what it was once like to trust you. You're demeanor getting progressively worse is the only thing I hold true these days. How many more times do I need to hold up a mirror to your face? Maybe you're blind, maybe I'm stupid for still trying.
Do you know that I don't love you anymore? Never again will I smile at the sound of your name. Of this I am ashamed too. We could have had the perfect little family. But when I rewind and play back the past, I know I'm dreaming. There in the past lies my little heart shattered.
Today I will tell you this all over again. Again and again until I'm sure you have understood. I want to haunt your dreams like you haunt mine. But when I try to speak, my voice breaks, my lips quiver. I am not as strong as it seems. I am only a child.
...And if that horse and cart fall down
You'll still be the sweetest one in town.
You'll still be the sweetest one in town.
