Lyrics

Step 9

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
