I hear glasses breakin as I sit up in my bed

I told dad you didnʼt mean those nasty things you said

You fight about money, bout me and my brother
C                       B            E
And this I come home to, this is my shelter

My mama she loves you, no matter what she says its true
C                          B                  E
