Mama didn't always have
Those tears in her eyes
And daddy once was able
To hold his head up highBut now I brought disgrace
To my whole family
Now they cry but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for meI loved a boy and then I found
That he just lead me on
So in my hurt and bitterness
I let myself go aloneBut all I did was hurt myself
And shame my family
And now they cry but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for meNo, I'm not worth
The salt in one tiny tearOh, why have I brought shame
To the one I loved so dear?
I'm so sorry that I hurt them
But they'll never know how sorryAnd now they cry but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
Yes, now they cry but I'm not worth
The tears they cry for me
