                        A
Sweetie, will you come home?
                      E  
We're tracking your car
                              F#m
Who are you with? What are you on?
              D
Pick up the phone

When I was young
My problems were her problems
Now, I don't wanna cause trouble at all
I don't want the call

Sayin', "We're worried about you,
we're worried about you"
Don't worry about me, just worry about you

Chorus:
    A                       E  
So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart
     D
She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars
        A                      E  
She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them
    D
At least in her mind, her daughter is fine
      A                            E  
Oh, please (Please) don't (Don't) let (Let)
     F
her hear
I'm dyin' inside
              A                          E  
'Cause she's dealt (Dealt) with (With) this (This)
     F
for years
I got it this time

I wait 'til I'm home
Cry in the shower for two to three hours
'Til the tears are gone
Then pick up the phone
Now when we speak
I lie and say I slept for eight hours
All seven nights of the week
She'll get to sleep

'Cause I worry about you, I worry about you
Don't worry about me, just worry about you

Chorus:
So don't tell my mom, I'm fallin' apart
She hurts when I hurt, my scars are her scars
She'll talk to her friends, impress all of them
At least in her mind, her daughter is fine
Oh, please (Please) don't (Don't) let (Let) her hear
I'm dyin' inside
'Cause she's dealt (Dealt) with (With) this
(This) for years
I got it this time

What you don't know won't hurt you (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mama, I'll lie, just for you, no
What you don't know won't hurt you, oh (Ooh-ooh-ooh)
Mama, I'll lie, just for you

So don't tell my mom, she's wearin' my heart
Her daughter might cry, but she'll be alright
