Turnin back is like reaching out for pain
walkin through cold and blistering rain
how can I not complain when it hurts so bad
mother won't listen to my tears
why mother won't listen to my tears
when I cry she plugs up her ears
my mother won't listen to my tears
she pretends that never happened
she pretends that never was
she refuses to take the blame
I guess I'll just take it & add it to my shame
I can see in her eyes she looks at me
as if I'm not supose to cry
I ask the question why
my mother won't listen to my tears
I see in her eyes I'm still a child
I guess I should stay in my place
If it wasn't for me being grown
she would surely slap my face
does she know that she hurt me
does she know how bad
does she know I cry in my sleep
for somthin I never had
there is somthing I have wanted to say to her
for many years but still mother
she won't listen to my tears
I'll be empty when the casket drops
not able to squeeze out a single teardrop
I've been I been standin in line for many years
waiting for mother to hear my tears
still my mother won't listen to my tears
