Step 9

[Verse 1]
I heard your mother stayed, I heard your mother stayed out
And did it get to your head?
I heard your father stayed, I heard your father stayed home
To pick up what's still left
I heard you didn't know why she would ever go
Who's gonna braid your hair, now?
I heard you didn't know how he could love you so
Always puttin' yourself down

[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear all about how you're doin' just fine
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
And you don't get to say it's alright 'cause you're on step nine
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears
Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere
I wanna trust it, but it just won't work
'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth

[Verse 2]
I heard your mothеr lied, I heard your mother still liеs
But you can't find out later
I heard your father cried, I heard your father still cries
But then would stand up straighter
You can't remember when, you can't remember when you
Went for forgiveness
You can't remember when, you can't remember when you
Gave into the stress

[Chorus]
I don't wanna hear all about how you're doin' just fine
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
And you don't get to say it's alright 'cause you're on step nine
Ah, ah-ah, ah, ah, ah-ah
And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears
Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere
I wanna trust it, but it just won't work
'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth
Dear Lydia
I miss you so much and I can't wait to see you next month
I think about you every day
I heard you were amazing in your ballet recital and I swear that I'll be at the next one
I'm gonna give you so many hugs when I see you
I love you sweetheart
I don't wanna hear all about how you're doin' just fine
And you don't get to say it's alright 'cause you're on step nine
And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears
Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere
I wanna trust it, but it just won't work
'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth

[Outro]
And I still hear your voice, it's in my ears
Gotta remind myself, it's not sincere
I wanna trust it, but it just won't work
'Cause now I really know just what I'm worth
