Momma, Set Me Free

[Verse 1]
I cut my hair when I was twenty one
I told my mother that it was just for fun
But what she didn't know is I was changing
And what she didn't know, my heart was rearranging
But if she really knew, maybe things would make much more sense

[Pre-Chorus]
Momma, can't you see
That this is not my falling ground? (This is not my falling ground)
Not my first time around? (Not my first time around)
But I will never let you down (I will never let you down)
I must make my momma proud

[Chorus]
Who am I to you, to you, to them, to them, to me, to me?
(Let me go slowly)
We expect the love, the love to stay, to stay when we break free
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, can't you see?
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, set me free
(Let me go slowly)

[Verse 2]
I played pretend and closed my heart off
But I was hiding from all my demons
But what she didn't know is I was terrified
And what she didn't know, I nearly lost my mind
But if she really knew, maybe things would make much more sense

[Chorus]
Who am I to you, to you, to them, to them, to me, to me?
(Let me go slowly)
We expect the love, the love to stay, to stay when we break free
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, can't you see?
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, set me free
(Let me go slowly)

[Bridge]
Who am I to you? (Momma)
Who am I to you? (Momma)

[Chorus]
Who am I to you, to you, to them, to them, to me, to me?
(Let me go slowly)
We expect the love, the love to stay, to stay when we break free
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, can't you see?
(Let me go slowly)
Momma, set me free
(Let me go slowly)
