Mama Told Me

Mama always told me I was special She never doubted me When I cry myself to sleep She tucks me in Last night I had a dream She was gone I can't shake the feeling That loved ones have to leave Some say, for a better place I'm scared of what awaits Papa told me I was brave I always doubted that When I strike him with my laugh He reminds me to behave I keep track of every word And of each pat on the shoulder Writing this is hard I'm petrified by the thought his grave I can't be that brave I can't be that brave (I can't be that brave) I can't that brave (I can't be that brave) I can't be that brave
