Kari Lyn - When I See My Momma Crying

She wiped my tears and kissed my bruise
Taught me makeup songs and shoes
She gave me all she thought she knew
I feel for what I put her through
All the pennies I've forgotten
And every souvenir she bought
Like an expensive water bottle
I'd leave in the yard to rot
She did it cause she said she loved me
Spoiled me the way she knew
It didn't have to be expensive
It was the things I never knew
But when I see my momma crying
I just don't know what to do
When she hides that tear of silver
But the sadness shines right through
She thinks that I don't notice
But every tear it falls like snow
And I'm sorry I can't help it
But leave you in the cold
And even though we're not that close
You're my mom and I'm your do
You may think that I don't try
But my love wears a disguise
I do things you'll never know
And you've just got to let me grow
Just as I will let you cry
I guess we both have a disguise
And me i cry too
I fight the darkness through and through
And I wish
Being here could be enough
But I can't hold my life much longer
Someday we'll both be stronger
But when I see my momma crying
I just don't know what to do
When she hides that tear of silver
But the sadness shines right through
She thinks that I don't notice
But every tear it falls like snow
And I'm sorry I can't help it
But leave you in the cold
And I'm sorry I can't help it
But leave you in the cold
