Step 9

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

I heard your mother stayed

I heard your mother stayed out

And did it get to your head?

I heard your father stayed

I heard your father stayed home

To pick up what's still left

I heard you didn't know why she would ever go

Who's gonna braid your hair, now?

I heard you didn't know how he could love you so

Always puttin' yourself down

I don't wanna hear all about

How you're doin' just fine

Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah

And you don't get to say it's alright

'Cause you're on step nine

Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah

And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears

Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere

I wanna trust it, but it just won't work

'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth

I heard your mother lied

I heard your mother still lies

But you can't find out later

I heard your father cried

I heard your father still cries

But then would stand up straighter

You can't remember when

You can't remember when you

Went for forgiveness

You can't remember when

You can't remember when you

Gave into the stress

I don't wanna hear all about

How you're doin' just fine

Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah

And you don't get to say it's alright

'Cause you're on step nine

Ah, ah ah, ah, ah, ah ah

And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears

Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere

I wanna trust it, but it just won't work

'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth

I don't wanna hear all about

How you're doin' just fine

And you don't get to say it's alright

'Cause you're on step nine

And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears

Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere

I wanna trust it, but it just won't work

'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth

And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears

Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere

I wanna trust it, but it just won't work

'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth
