Close your eyes Mama and don't let them see
what daddys best friend has been doin' to me
we won't tell daddy, cause he'll just get mad
he'll deny the whole thing, just say that I'm bad

So I'm gonna go Mama, I can't stay here no more
then you won't have to face what happens, behind closed doors
you won't have to admit, that you knew all along
about what he was doing and why it was so wrong

You just closed your eyes Mama, to my muffled screams
and ignored the reality of my torturous dreams
to my safely locked door, you gave him the key
and the freedom to do, what he wanted with me

So close your eyes tight Mama, close your ears and your heart
and just pretend that my world hasn't been torn apart
by a man who hurts and degrades me, with every touch
tell me the truth Mama, do you hate me that much

Don't start to cry Mama, all your tears are in vain
if you'd really loved me, you'd have stopped all the pain
you keep tellin' me Mama, that I shouldn't blame you
that it wasn't your fault, you didn't know what to do

Well Mama I'm sorry, but thats just not good enough
you're the one that I loved and thought I could trust
but it's ok Mama, I'll do it for you, I've made my decision
and when you read this you'll know, your son died for a reason
