Your mother don't stop crying don't ask me why And your family don't stop asking questions Maybe she's lonely cos daddy's never there And whenever he's there is always tension You sit in the corner cos you've got no friends And you're scared someone will beat you Hey! Let's play happy families And pretend that someone need you Daddy's not coming home Cos daddy's found someone Tell me little stories your desire to hear But cover your ears to block the screaming Mother works on nights to pay the bills But lies don't hide the drink and bruising You sit in darkness cos no one is there To witness all the pain their inflicting So close your eyes and drift away Life is always better when you're sleeping Daddy's not coming home Cos daddy's found someone Sleep, close your eyes Fall, I will catch you Sleep, close your eyes Fall, I will catch you I will catch you I will catch you
