I got a question for ya.
Yeah, it's serious.
I got something to ask ya.
Yeah, it can't wait.
It's been eating at my insides
It's been eating at my mind
I wanna know
Am I the reason you cry?
(Chorus: Is it my fault Daddy's leaving
Is it my fault you're always crying
Is it my fault every word that you said is true?
Mama don't make me choose
Between you)
I love my daddy but I love you too
You've given me a hard choice
I don't know who to go to
Mama's got a sharper temper
And is really short on praise but
Daddy's got the heavier hand to raise
(Chorus)
Is it my fault that Daddy's leaving
Is it my fault you're always crying
Is it my fault that you guys argue
Mama don't make me choose
Between you
Don't make me choose
between you
Don't make me choose
between you

I've heard so much about divorce and how kids always blame themselves. This is a song about that.

Exactly!!! I find it so irritating because I can't ever write a happy song and then people come up to me and say "your songs are really good..." I'm like "THEY'RE MISERABLE!!!" "Well...yeah, but they're good..." "Thanks...."

I know what you mean about sad songs- people seem to like the misery about them because they understand.

Thank you!! You are lucky to have both your parents, mine are separated. And all my songs are sad in some way :) That's what makes them easy to relate to. And thanks for the compliment.

Thsi is touching but sad; this song makes me think about life and makes me realize how lucky I am to have both my parents. Keep writing- you are inspiring!
