Mama don't cry now
I know that you'll miss me
I won't be far
You've been my star
I've tried so hard
Mama don't cry now
I swear you'll be fine
We've come this far
They say it's fast
And it won't be dark
The knife came first
The hush came next
I tied my rope
I held my breath
The drugs don't work
They won't say why
It always hurts
You know I've tried
Mama don't cry now
We've done this a while
We've had our time
You've choked with pride
I love your smile
The knife came first
The hush came next
I tied my rope
I held my breath
The drugs don't work
They won't say why
It always hurts
You know I've tried
The knife came first
The hush came next
I tied my rope
I held my breath
The drugs don't work
They won't say why
It always hurts
You know I've tried
