Mama
I'm coming home again
But I'm not here to stay
Stop trying to protect me from
The shadows of the day
I know you got it wrong
But we all make mistakes
I need you to be strong
It's not your fault you're not to blame
And I said
Mama
Ain't like it used to be
When I would hold your hand
And wobble on your knee
Oh mama
I'm not that little child
Don't have to be afraid
To let me go and live my life
Your demons took control
They stole the love I craved
But there's no way to change
These shadows cast from yesterday
Stop trying to repair
The years that went to waste
Although it's good advice
It's much too little much too late
And I said
Mama
Ain't like it used to be
When I would hold your hand
And wobble on your knee
Oh mama
I'm not that little child
Don't have to be afraid
To let me go and live my life
I don't see history repeating I
Won't be making the same sacrifice
I've spent so long hoping
And now that you've opened your eyes
I'm fine
I'm fine
I'm fine
