Theophilus the Scholar - Tears in Your Eyes (Sammie's Song) lyrics

Prayer: God grant me the serenity To accept the things I cannot change; Courage to change the things I can; And wisdom to know the difference Verse 1: Hello my name is Denise I'm 19 years old and my boyfriend never listens even when I say no His castle is my prison I wear a crown of thorns And a satin robe of denial to survive the storm He calls me out my name, I swear if I try harder then, I can stop the pain But this is not how it works His jealousy mixed with Erk and Jerk drives him bazerk And he takes it out on me, lord how could this be Maybe I deserve it, our lives ain't picture perfect And at times I feel worthless, but to me it's worth it Yeah, he puts his hands on me, but he always say he's sorry Most times it don't bother me He loves me, mommy Mike, roses are red, my eyes black and blue All my friends tell me I shouldn't go back to you I love you something different When it's harshly than spoken Like a thousand little pieces when your heart gets broken Chorus: Girl, why you look so sad Tears all in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be afraid to cry Let me see you thru Cuz I've seen the dark side too Verse 2: Hello my name's Tammy, and I love my babies Denise's my first born, but her life all crazy I don't know what make that n***a show his love with his hands But she won't leave his a** I just don't understand She calls me like, momma why love feel like this? I try to tell her baby love don't come from a fist See at least twice a week we end up ER All the doctors and nurses know who we are The police and paramedics know us by name Neighbors talk bad about us and don't treat us the same See they got a son together but he stays with me Ask grandma, why them kids don't wanna play with me How come I have to move to your house right down the street Cuz there's things at home baby I don't want you to see I hide the truth cuz just some things just shouldn't be said Denise better leave his a** or she'll end up dead Chorus: Girl, why you look so sad Tears all in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be afraid to cry Let me see you thru Cuz I've seen the dark side too Verse 3: Hello my name's Mike and with sh** like this Honestly, I don't know what make me get like this This woman carried my seed, I mean she's down for me Despite my faults, I mean this woman's really down for me I go upside her head, cops wanna treat me like a crook She need a hospital to go and put money on my books I'm in a room full of mirrors and all I see is her pain And I'm standing at the center, but it's me to blame How could I hit my baby's mother Like I ain't watch my pops beat my mom's a** just me and my baby brother The hypocrisy is crazy, the jealousy runs deep Got me breaking house windows where my family sleeps Got me throwin' food in the garbage that my family eats Got me locked in a 6x9 understand me please Im sorry for every time I ever cussed or yelled or raised my hand Now I admit it, cuz I gave you hell Chorus: Girl, why you look so sad Tears all in your eyes Come on and come to me now Don't be afraid to cry Let me see you thru Cuz I've seen the dark side too Copyright Shear Genius Productions/The Writer's Room 412
