Mom

Woke up to echoes of you shouting

Walls are thin, can you hear me doubting?

You said love was a fire but you played with the flame

Burned my heart down while you hid from the blame

You wore your crown made of shattered glass

Thought I'd be broken but I learned to outlast

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise

Taught me how to run but never how to fly

With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes

I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

You painted smiles over all the bruises

While I cleaned up every mess that confuses

You wore a mask like it's part of the game

But I'm cutting through this, I won't feel ashamed

You wore your crown made of shattered glass

Thought I'd be broken but I learned to outlast

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise

Taught me how to run but never how to fly

With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes

I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

All those nights spent crying alone

Building my fortress from bricks you've thrown

But now I'll rise like a phoenix from ash

Your shadow won't hold me, I'll break free at last

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise

Taught me how to run but never how to fly

With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes

I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise

Taught me how to run but never how to fly

With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes

I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

Mommy, why don't you love me?
