HE FLAUNTS HIS BEAUTY AS A SIN,

HE DENIES WHAT LOVE IS.

IT SHOWS A DARKER SIDE TO HIM,

BUT I FIGHT TO BE HIS.

SOME NIGHTS, HE COMES TO FLIRT,

AT DAWN, THE PAIN IS HARSH.

ALWAYS, LEAVES ME TO HURT,

I’VE BEEN CRYING SINCE MARCH.

 

MOTHER, 

OH, CAN’T YOU TELL, I LOVE HIM BLIND.

I LOST MY WAY, I LOST MY MIND,

MY WILL TO TAKE A STAND.

MOTHER, 

JUST ONE MORE TIME, I NEED YOUR STRENGTH.

I NEED YOUR HAND.

 

HE SHOWED UP AT MY DOOR, TODAY

WITH SOME GOODIES TO SHARE. 

I WAS HAPPY TO HAVE HIM STAY,

I LET HIM TOUCH MY HAIR.

HE PROMISED ME THE MOON,

HE SHOWERED ME WITH SWEETS,

WE PLAYED THE SAME OL’ TUNE

THEN WE GOT UNDER MY SHEETS.

MOTHER, 

OH, CAN’T YOU TELL, I LOVE HIM BLIND.

I LOST MY WAY, I LOST MY MIND,

MY WILL TO TAKE A STAND.

MOTHER, 

JUST ONE MORE TIME, I NEED YOUR STRENGTH.

I NEED YOUR HAND.

 

HE BANGS ON THE FRONT DOOR, AGAIN,

I PRETEND TO BE SICK.

I TRY TO TAME HIS MUSKY BRAIN,

I’M NOT SCARED OF HIS SHTICK

HE KEEPS CALLING MY NAME,

HE CRIES, HE BEGS, HE PRAYS.

IT DOESN’T BURN THE SAME,

RAIN HAS FALLEN ON THE BLAZE.

 

HOW CAN YOU TELL THAT LOVE IS BLIND?

MIRAGE OF GLOOM, I AM RESIGNED

TO PAINT MY DREAMS IN DARK AND GREY.

MOTHER,

AND TOGETHER, WE’LL HAVE THE STRENGTH

TO MAKE IT END.

 

MOTHER

OH, CAN YOU TELL, I HAVEN’T CRIED.

THE HURT IS GONE, BODY AND MIND,

MY HEART IS ON THE MEND.

MOTHER,

FINALLY, I CAN MOVE ON,

I FREED MY HAND.

I FREED MY HAND.

MOTHER, I FREED MY HAND.
