Cold night in the kitchen
Saying things we both regret
And you scream you were leaving
And you curse the day we met
Then the sound of a slamming door
Broken dishes thrown around the floor
So loud it made her stop
It was the sound of a teardrop
When I heard her crying
Thought she was tucked away in bed
I heard her crying
Wish we could take back what we said
I didn't think she was old enough to know
Oh lord we must have hurt her so
When she begged you not to go
I heard her crying
I'd have given anything but time to erase
When I turned around
And saw those little tears roll down her face
Oh my heart nearly broke in two
And she said mommy what did I do
To make you a daddy mad
Oh I'm sorry I was bad
I looked at you and you looked at me
And we felt each other's shame
Then nearly down to hold our child
Said she was not to blame
Now sometimes when we're angry
We say things that aren't true
But we still love each other
And baby we love you
When I heard her crying
Thought she was tucked away in bed
I heard her crying
Wish we could take back what we said
I didn't think she was old enough to know
Oh lord we must have hurt her so
She begged you not to go
I heard her crying
