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
