The Cranberries — Ode to My Family lyrics

Lyrics

Understand the things I say
Don’t turn away from me Cause I spent half my life out there
You wouldn’t disagree
D’you see me, d’you see
Do you like me, do you like me standing there
D’you notice, d’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
ЊCause we were raised
To see life as a fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me Did 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
ЊCause I liked it, I liked it When I was out there
D’you know this, d’you know
You did not find me, you did not find
Does anyone care
Unhappiness was when I was young
And we didn’t give a damn
ЊCause we were raised
To see life as fun and take it if we can
My mother, my mother she hold me Did she hold me, when I was out there
My father, my father, he liked me Oh he liked me, does anyone care
Does anyone care
