Mommy will you listen
I have something to say
I want you just to hear me
And tell me it's okay
It happened a long time ago
But it still hurts today
Please try to open up your heart
And tell me that you'll stay.
  I needed you to hold me
  I needed you to be there
  I wanted you to love me
  And tell me that you did care
  I climbed into the closet
  All alone and scared
  Crying in the darkness
  Believing that no one cared.

Mommy can you hear me
I'm trying hard to say
Just how it felt to be a little
Girl that couldn't play
Without the fear of someone
Coming in my room to steal
My precious innocence away
Leaving their shame to feel.
  I needed you to love me
  And tell me that you did care
  I wanted you to hold me
  And for you just to be there
  I cried into the darkness
  All alone and scared
  Hiding in the closet
  Believing that no one cared.

Mommy I still need you
I wish that you were here
So I could hear you tell me
That you love me and you care
I long for you to hold me
In your arms for just today
I need to hear you tell me
That it's going to be okay.
  I wanted you to love me
  I wanted you to care
  I wanted you to hold me
  I wanted you to be there
  Instead I climbed into the closet
  All alone and scared
  Crying in the darkness
  Believing no one cared.

Mommy are you listening
I still need you to hear
How badly that I want to take your hand
And make it clear
I long for you to hold me
In your arms for just today
Please open up your heart to me
And take my pain away.......

.....crying in the darkness, believing no one cared.
