I am a girl with a forgettable face   No matter my color, no matter my name   At work, there is a boy and he treats me well   My old friends from high school, I see them around      August is here, I can't believe how fast   Soon there will be winter and snow on the ground   Maybe, by then I could get my own place   Closer to the city if that's okay      But mama, can you hear me?   As I dragged on my day's last cigarette   He pulled me so hard off my   Very own back door steps      And he laid me in his garden   All the years I've watched him tend   And then he took me, mama   So I could never tell you about it      Inside of this moment there are things I wish I could know   Like my ring size, your ring size and the hour I was born   My dad's middle name, your favorite song   Was your darkest day as dark as this one?      Mama, can you hear me?   As I dragged on my day's last cigarette   He pulled me so hard off my   Very own back door steps      And he laid me in his garden   All the years, I've watched him tend   He took me, mama, so I could never tell you about it   Now I'm a girl who's face they'll never forget
