Don't Tell My Mom

Daddy just cut your hair today, didn't he?

Yeah

Do you like it?

No, I cried

You did cry

I cried

Sweetie, will you come home?

We're tracking your car

Who are you with? What are you on?

Pick up the phone

When I was young

My problems were her problems

Now, I don't wanna 'cause trouble at all

I don't want the call

Sayin': We're worried about you

We're worried about you

Don't worry about me

Just worry about you

So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart

She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars

She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them

At least in her mind, hеr daughter is fine

Oh, pleasе don't let her hear

I'm dyin' inside

'Cause she's dealt with this for years

I got it this time

I wait till I'm home

Cry in the shower for two to three hours

till the tears are gone

Then pick up the phone

Now when we speak

I lie and say I slept eight hours

All seven nights of the week

She'll get to sleep

'Cause I worry about you

I worry about you

Don't worry about me

Just worry about you

So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart

She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars

She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them

At least in her mind, her daughter is fine

Oh, please don't let her hear

I'm dyin' inside

'Cause she's dealt with this for years

I got it this time

What you don't know won't hurt you

Mama, I'll lie, just for you

What you don't know won't hurt you

Mama, I'll lie, just for you

So don't tell my mom

She's wearin' my heart

Her daughter might cry

But she'll be alright
