[Verse 1]
She said that we don't have to hug
She said that I don't have to love
And when she took my wrist
And pushed me against the wall
The look on her face made me afraid of who she was
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's all okay
'Cause it's all in my head
And it's all my fault
That my tears have stained the bed
[Chorus]
When I think of my mother
I think of a guard
Holding me captive
But not in her arms
When I think of her voice
I think of a siren
Constantly sounding
After pulling the alarm
I'm anxious and broken
Because of her words
I'll never get back thе time
I spent putting her first
Whеn I think of my mother
I'm often in tears
'Cause she is the reason
For all of my fears
[Post-Chorus]
Mommy
Why don't you want me?
[Verse 2]
How does it feel to be alone?
To call and a text once every year to ask me home?
Do you ever hurt or cry or care I'm not around?
Do you not regret the little contact we have now?
[Pre-Chorus]
And it's all okay
'Cause it's all in my head
And it's all my fault
That my tears have stained the bed
[Chorus]
When I think of my mother
I think of a guard
Holding me captive
But not in her arms
When I think of her voice
I think of a siren
Constantly sounding
After pulling the alarm
I'm anxious and broken
Because of her words
I'll never get back the time
I spent putting her first
When I think of my mother
I'm often in tears
'Cause she is the reason
For all of my fears
[Post-Chorus]
Mommy
Why don't you want me?
Why don't you want me?
Mommy
