Stitches

dinnertime has come and the food is getting cold.
daddy doesn't live here 'cause he's living down the road.
daddy, please come home.
don't leave us alone.
i miss you very much and want to tell you so.

at least he's sleeping now.
good boys go to sleep.
at least he's dreaming now.
everyone can dream.

i don't understand why you don't live here anymore.
mommy's eyes are always wet and looking at the door.
mommy, please don't cry.
never say goodbye.
i drew the three of us together in the sky.

i pushed a kid at school 'cause i was feeling mad.
mommy's always tired and her face is always sad.
daddy, please come home.
please answer the phone.
i hope you didn't leave us because i did something bad.

we're in an apartment, mommy couldn't pay the bills.
she's very white now and she's always taking pills.
mommy, don't be lost.
daddy loves us lots.
i want to hug him but i doubt i ever will.
