Nobody cried

Verse

My dad died when I was thirteen.

The burden fell upon me.

I quit school and started working.

My mother began to drink.

Pre chorus

So much for teenage dreams.

So much for having fun.

My sisters needed me.

Chorus

I traded thrills to pay the bills.

The child in me died

And nobody, nobody cried.

Verse

The years passed and I turned twenty.

My mother was using drugs.

I couldn’t save her from herself.

You know what addiction does.

Pre chorus

So much for teenage dreams.

So much for having fun.

My sisters needed me.

Chorus

I traded thrills to pay the bills.

The child in me died

And nobody, nobody cried.

Bridge

I met you at work; you saw I was hurt.

I broke down and cried like a child.

You tore down fences; my defenses.

For the first time in years, I smiled.
