When I See My Momma Crying

She wiped my tears and kissed my bruise Taught me makeup songs and shoes She gave me all she thought she knew I feel for what I put her through All the pennies I've forgotten And every souvenir she bought Like an expensive water bottle I'd leave in the yard to rot She did it cause she said she loved me Spoiled me the way she knew It didn't have to be expensive It was the things I never knew But when I see my momma crying I just don't know what to do When she hides that tear of silver But the sadness shines right through She thinks that I don't notice But every tear it falls like snow And I'm sorry I can't help it But leave you in the cold And even though we're not that close You're my mom and I'm your do You may think that I don't try But my love wears a disguise I do things you'll never know And you've just got to let me grow Just as I will let you cry I guess we both have a disguise And me i cry too I fight the darkness through and through And I wish Being here could be enough But I can't hold my life much longer Someday we'll both be stronger But when I see my momma crying I just don't know what to do When she hides that tear of silver But the sadness shines right through She thinks that I don't notice But every tear it falls like snow And I'm sorry I can't help it But leave you in the cold And I'm sorry I can't help it But leave you in the cold
