I wasn't sure whether to upload this one, it's based on letters I wrote as a child.

Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
I heard the shouting through the walls again last night
Covered my ears and held my pillow tight
You said you're tired, said you can't do this anymore
I heard your footsteps walking toward the door

[Verse 2]
You're packing up your things, putting them away
I don't understand the words I heard you say
Something about needing space, needing to be free
But what about us? What about me?

[Pre-Chorus]
I know things have been hard lately, I can see
But we can fix this, can't we? Please...

[Chorus]
Please stay, don't go
I need you more than you could know
Please stay, I'm begging you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
If you walk out that door today
Please stay

[Verse 3]
I promise I'll be better, I'll be good
I'll do anything, everything I should
I'll clean my room without you asking me
I'll be so quiet, you won't even see

[Verse 4]
I heard you crying in the bathroom yesterday
Saw the suitcase that you tried to hide away
You think I don't notice but I see it all
The way you flinch when you hear footsteps in the hall

[Pre-Chorus]
I know you're hurting, I can see the pain
But leaving us won't make it go away

[Chorus]
Please stay, don't go
I need you more than you could know
Please stay, I'm begging you
I don't know what I'm supposed to do
If you walk out that door today
Please stay, please stay

[Bridge]
I'm scared of what happens when you're gone
Who's gonna help me when things go wrong?
Who's gonna tuck me in at night?
Who's gonna tell me it's alright?

I know I'm small, I know I'm young
But I can feel what's coming
And I'm terrified

[Final Verse]
Mummy, please don't leave me here alone
This house won't be a home when you're gone
I'm just a little boy who needs his mum
Please don't go, please don't run

I heard you tell Dad it's over, that you're done
But what about your son?
What about your son?

[Final Chorus]

Please stay, Mummy don't go
I need you more than you could know
Please stay, I'm begging you
I'm just a little boy, what am I supposed to do?
If you walk out that door today
My whole world falls away
Please stay, Mummy please stay
Don't leave me here this way
Please stay...

[Outro]
Please stay...
I need my mummy...
Please don't go...
