Sallie Ford & The Sound Outside - Thirteen Years Old lyrics

I'm only 13 years old Already life's cold Can't talk to mama And today my daddy died Tell me why I couldn't cry They always say that life will go on But all I got is my house and my lawn My dog, my brother, my school and my friends And now that he's gone does it mean it all ends Tell me why I couldn't cry I hadn't even begun to swear All I remember is his stare And now that he's gone I can feel him even more I'm just waitin' for these tears to pour Tell me why I couldn't cry Will my brother understand What it is to be a man Will my mother stop her tears Or will this go on for years And years / Tell me why I couldn't cry
