Look at me Mom
Look at me Mom:
At the bruises that's new;
From the man that you love;
He wants me to call him Dad too;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
Can't you see all the tears;
I cry most of the time;
Cause this man makes me fear;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
Can't you hear him curse me;
Cause who I must be;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
At the plea in my eyes;
And I cringe from his touch;
When he whispers his lies;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
When he hurts me real bad;
Can't you see just how sad;
Or are you hearing my screams
Cause he gives me bad dreams;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
As he says I'm not loved;
And he's pushed and he's shoved;
As things go against his will;
And he threatens to kill;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
I have silence for ears;
I can't feel your touch;
I can no longer hear;
How you love me so much;
Look at me Mom...
Look at me Mom;
Look at my face;
You won't find a trace;
Of life in these eyes;
As you say your goodbyes;
Yes, look at me Mom...
