Theres things I need to tell you,
advice I need to give.
Things I wish I knew,
Things that may help you want to live.

First of all little girl
You are going to grow up in a scary world.
I am so sorry to have to say
You wont get to be a little kid, wont get to just laugh and play.
Please know things will be rough,
And you my dear will have to be real tough.
The whole family goes down the drain.
I look at your old photographs, so much pain.
I can see it in your eyes,
Happy times fade away after your papa dies.

Cover your ears sweet child,
Mom and daddy will yell and scream all night
They will always make you present during each and every fight.
Please try not to take it all to heart
None of these things are really your fault,
The things you'll hear and see are just not right.

Cover your eyes beautiful little lass,
Daddy changes to a monster with each sip from that glass.
You will watch him change before you
And turn into something I wish you never knew.
His voice will be so loud
Your cries they will be drowned.
Please try not to ever look in that den
What you see, It will haunt you long after then.
You will see things that even as an adult
You wont be able to understand.
And their will be...
