The Things I've Seen

I got these diamonds in my soul

Don't see the light when I'm wide awake

I'm sick of workin' for no ends

You see the greed made me feel hate

And there's no turnin' back

Keep running from my past

When will the feeling always last?

I don't think you know me, know me, no

You don't know my life, my heart, my soul, no

If you seen them things I seen

If you seen them things I seen

Seen the things I seen

Oh no

Don't know the tears I've cried

If you seen the things I've seen

You seen the things I've seen

Oh no

Standing to the back

If you seen the things I've seen

If you seen the things I've seen

Seen the things I've seen

My God, I lost a lot of love

Could see the pain on my momma's face

A daughter hanging from this earth

She got 'em scars she don't deserve

And there's no turning back

We running from our past

Well, the fear, it always lasts

I don't think you know me, know me, no

You don't know my life, my heart, my soul, no

If you seen them things I seen

If you seen them things I seen

Seen the things I seen

Oh no

Don't know the tears I've cried

If you seen the things I've seen

You seen the things I've seen

Oh no

Standing to the back

If you seen the things I've seen

If you seen the things I've seen

Tell me how to see you

Tell me this ain't real

Tell me how to feel

I grew up as a teen, momma

If you seen the things I've seen

If you seen the things I've seen
