[VERSE 1]
The prettiest smiles hide the ugliest secrets
The prettiest eyes have cried the most tears
The kindest hearts have felt the most pain
[PRE-Chorus]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Don't go knockin’ on heaven's door
Til you're finished doing what you’re meant for
Don't go knockin' on heaven's door tonight
[Chorus]
Cause mama said
Don't run, don't hide, don't be afraid of the fire
Just leave behind love it'll never take you higher
Cause hurt people, they hurt people, they hurt people
Mama said, you’ll be alright
But my mama was a liar
Mama was a liar
[VERSE 2]
The loudest ones in the room are the weakest
The strongest ones have faced the most fear
Won’t find happiness without money and fame
[PRE-Chorus]
Mama said, mama said, mama said
Don't go knockin’ on heaven's door
Til you're finished doing what you're meant for
Don’t go knockin' on heaven's door tonight
[Chorus]
Cause mama said
Don't run, don't hide, don't be afraid of the fire
Just leave behind love it'll never take you higher
Cause hurt people, they hurt people, they hurt people
Mama said, you'll be alright
But my mama was a liar
[BRIDGE]
I was believin' your lyin'
You sell it, I buy it
Until I couldn't hear my voice
Now I'm drownin' in judgement
When you're supposed to love me
Don't you know that love's a choice
[Chorus]
Cause mama said
Don't run, don't hide, don't be afraid of the fire
Just leave behind love it'll never take you higher
Cause hurt people, they hurt people, they hurt people
Mama said, you'll be alright
But my mama was a liar
Mama was a liar
