[Intro]
Oh no
Oh no
[Verse 1]
I don't wanna be your mom
But you're not strong enough
The world isn't shaking like you are
There's a trapdoor in my arms
Let me over
Let me cover the bad parts
You love me and you push me away
You had a lot of sex and rage
I can't push you
[Chorus]
Oh, well, you're not gonna save him
Not gonna save him, save him, save him
Oh, well, you're not gonna save him
Not gonna save him, save him, save him
[Verse 2]
I don't wanna be your mom
But you're not strong enough
The world isn't aching like you are
There's a trapdoor in my arms
Let me over
Let me cover the bad parts
[Chorus]
Oh, well, you're not gonna save him
Not gonna save him, save him, save him
Oh, well, you're not gonna save him
Not gonna save him, save him, save him
[Bridge]
On and on a late night call
I could never be your mom

All, at all, at all (Oh, well)
I gave it my all, at all, at all (You're not gonna save him)
I gave it my all, at all, you do it to yourself (Not gonna save him, save him, save him)
[Outro]
All, at all, at all (Oh, well)
I gave it my all, at all, at all (You're not gonna save him)
I gave it my all, at all, you do it to yourself (Not gonna save him, save him, save him)

I wanted this song to feel really tough. I used a lot of Queens of the Stone Age references; they have the best bass parts—like “In the Fade” and “Auto Pilot” and a bunch of the songs on Rated R—that cut through and drive the song. I wanted the low end to feel like that. When you’re in production sp...
