mother

Mother I can’t breathe, and I’m struggling to see, a light,

At the end of this tunnel, in the depths of this well.

Mother, I can’t keep, from taking you for granted, at times,

Maybe it’s all too much you’ve given, no way to pay it back.

And I know, I don’t treat you right,

That I’ve sold your soul by the riverside, 

That I’ve scorched your shores, and I’ve stained your pride.

But you keep loving me, in spite of these things.

Mother, I will fill your beauty up, inside my heart, 

I just can’t take it anymore, there’s so much that’s been destroyed.

Mother you can be so cruel, maybe that’s why I’ve been so mean to you,

But that’s just a mother’s love, trying to teach you right from wrong.

And I know, I don’t treat you right,

That I’ve sold your soul by the riverside, 

That I’ve scorched your shores, and I’ve stained your pride,

But you keep loving me, in spite of these things.

And I know, I don’t treat you right,

That I’ve sold your soul by the riverside, 

That I’ve scorched your shores, and I’ve stained your pride,

But you keep loving me, in spite of these things.

But you keep loving me, in spite of these things.
