Mom

I was younger

Enough to share the bed with whatever

Toy you bought to isolate my room

You were cornered

Afraid of speaking break the forever

Cause you were raised to hide behind taboos

Cocoa mornings

Jasmine is on the plate

Dry tears round your smile

Half woman, full wife

I'm sorry, mom

I was dumber

Naive, I didn't know any better

T'was what I grew up accustomed to

Not a talker

You let the silence took you wherever

We fixed shit up by staring at our shoes

I remember you alone in the parade

Was he gonna showed up?

He did late and drunk, I adore you mom

Sometimes I wish that I could meet

The girl you were before I was born

You gave me life

But it feels like I stole mine from ya

Although the past is sunk

Waves come from time to time

And I think 'bout the love you've wasted, mom

I'm sorry, mom

I adore you, mom

The green old carpet

You danced and in your pink dress

Oh God, we were just kids

You and me, I mean

I love you, mom

We've got older

We've watched the what-ifs turn into nevers

I'm sad and thankful for everything you've done
