My momma’s got a smile

that gets sweeter when she lies

And all my friends say

It looks just like mine

My daddy’s got heavy hands

That you hope he does not use

And I’ve been using mine

Just to pull my way through

Just to pull my way through, yeah

Looking in from the outside

You’d see a happy home

But the shadow waits

Just outside my door

Everywhere you’d look

You’d see cracked porcelain

And feel the raindrops like tears on your skin

Like tears on your skin

I’ve tried to live a simple life

But I just keep feeling like I’m falling behind

I’ve tried, so cut me at my roots

And let’s see what happens

When you throw me, throw me to the wolves , to the wolves

You know I’ve tried to love you

But I just can’t seem to do right, right by you

So maybe baby

So maybe baby

You should let me go

I’ve tried to live a simple life

But I just keep feeling like I’m falling behind

I’ve tried, so cut me at my roots

And let’s see what happens

When you throw me, throw me to the wolves , to the wolves
