"Ode To My Family" lyrics

"Ode To My Family"
(originally by The Cranberries)

Understand the things I say
Don't turn away from me,
'Cause I've spent half my life out there
You wouldn't disagree.

Do you see me? Do you see?
Do you like me?
Do you like me standing there?
Do you notice? Do you know?
Do you see me?
Do you see me? Does anyone care?

Unhappiness
Where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun
And take it if we can.

My mother, my mom,
She hold me, she hold me
When I was out there?
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me.
Does anyone care?

Understand what I've become,
It wasn't my design.
And people everywhere think something
Better than I am.

But I miss you, I miss,
'Cause I liked it,
'Cause I liked it when I was out there.
Do you know this? Do you know
You did not find me?
You did not find. Does anyone care?

Unhappiness
Where's when I was young,
And we didn't give a damn,
'Cause we were raised,
To see life as fun
And take it if we can.

My mother, my mom,
She hold me, she hold me
When I was out there.
My father, my father,
He liked me, oh, he liked me.
Does anyone care? [x9]
