Life's hard, and it only gets harder
17 years in and I'm fighting with my father
Scared of everything, including growing older, I'm not ready
But my momma's got my back, and she's holding me as steady as she can
It's all she can do (it's all she can do)
When I get sad
Or when I'm feeling blue
That's why I hung myself from the backyard tree
All I had was a stool and a guitar string
And if I gotta be specific, it was a low E
And my momma cut me down with the kitchen scissors
Then the cops came by with an ambulance
And they walked inside with a body bag
And if I had survived, my daddy'd kick my ass
And he'd ask me, why the hell would you go and do that?
You hurt your momma
You broke your momma's heart
You hurt your momma
You tore her apart
You hurt your momma
You ripped her heart in two
You hurt your momma
But you don't care, do you?
You hurt your momma
I wanna die, but I'm just not ready
Suicide isn't an option 'cause my heart's too heavy
Got my momma on my side, and she's tryin' to correct me
Got my back and my front, and won't let nothin' affect me
If I'm strong then my momma's even stronger
She's been lovin' me and helpin' me for just a while longer
Than I've even loved myself, I just don't know how she does it
She's the coolest chick I know, and the reason I'm above it
That's why I hung myself from the backyard tree
All I had was a stool and a guitar string
And if I gotta be specific, it was a low E
And my momma cut me down with the kitchen scissors
Then the cops came by with an ambulance
And they walked inside with a body bag
And if I had survived, my daddy'd kick my ass
And he'd ask me, why the hell would you go and do that?
You hurt your momma
She's on her way right now
Headin' to your room to make you lay your head down
Take your pills and tuck in bed, then you cry your eyes out
Wrapped up tightly in her arms just to ride the night out
Life's hard, but you love me even more
Never hid behind the liquor or a cold locked door
She'll never understand how she rocks me to my core
She'll just hug me 'til my legs go numb and arms go sore
(Hey mom, uh
I wrote you a song and it has really pretty guitar
So, uh, I'm just gonna sing it for you real quick, uh,)
You're why I haven't hung myself from the backyard tree
When all I had was a stool and a guitar string
And if I gotta be specific it'd be a low E
Then ya'd have to cut me down with the kitchen scissors
Praise god, no cops, no ambulance
I'd go to bed, and wake up whole again
I survived 'cause of you, and the love that I have
I don't ever wanna never take advantage of that
I love you, momma
(Uh, that's all I got right now
But I love you, call me when you get this
Bye)
