Candy canes and cellophane

Mommy's gone away.

What's that in Daddy's drawer?

Let's have us a game.

You should have known, but you weren't there.

You should have seen the look, the way that she stared.

Maybe it's better this way

Maybe this is how it's meant to be.

Speculate

Pontificate

It won't bring her back, oh no it won't bring her back.

Those pretty blue eyes…

You should have known, but you weren't there.

You should have seen the look, the way that she stared.

Maybe it's better this way.

Maybe this is how it's meant to be.

Bullshit, it ain't better this way!

Bullshit, this ain't how it's meant to be!

Mommy come home, your daughter is cryin'

She's red and she's cryin'

She looks to be dyin'

And I think that it's so

Mommy come home, your daughter is cryin'

She's red and she's cryin'

She looks to be dyin'

And I think that it's so

I think that it's so

Don't blame yourself, Mommy, wasn't your fault.

You couldn't help that you weren't there… at all.

Mommy; Mommy

You should have known, but you weren't there.
