[ Featuring Kelly Zutrau ]
Please don't cry mama
Or do cry if you feel you gotta
I guess I could honor
You if you think I oughta
No I can't fly home tomorrow
And I'd be lyin if I said I wanna
I'll try to love all your sorrow
But I can't clear the path you follow
The way you cry at funny movies
The way you cry at my tattoo
Do you hate the mark he left on me
Do you wish it was on you?
Now I bite the apple you forbade me
And I drink the beer you detest
All in places you did not picture
A nameless gas station in the southwest
All this knowin
Just might break me
It won't let me rest
If only you could just see
I only loved you
The way you loved me
I only loved you my best
I know you quietly praise me
You're proud of the girl you raised
I know you made the good times crazy
To brace me for a world I could not save
