Lyrics
Listen to me -- I can help this, put it right.
I can hold us all together, stop the fights.
Mom, will you stay right here
while I go and bring Daddy near?
Please just let me save this family!
I'm only trying to fill in the growing crack.
I'm only trying to bring our family back
to life, to life!
Why won't you listen to me?
Get it together and be good, just be nice.
Bring back the warmth and sunshine, thaw the ice.
Mommy, what are your fears?
Daddy, cut out the jeers!
Why can't you see what's so clear to me?
We can put back all the pieces, heal the pain.
We can say this never happened, let it fade away.
Mom, forgive all the years.
Dad, open up your ears.
Why can't it be like it used to be?
It's not you. It's not me.
It's just not how we thought it'd be.
Morning comes. The dream is gone.
We wonder, "Where did we go wrong?"
Why won't you listen to me?
What'd I do to cause this? Please don't fight.
I plunged us into madness, blinded sight.
Mom, can you dry my tears?
Dad, drive away my fears.
Why can't you see this is killing me?
I'm only trying to fill in the growing crack.
I'm only trying to bring our family back
to life, to life!
Why won't you listen to me?
Please, Mommy, listen to me!
Please, Daddy, listen to me!
Please, someone listen to me!
