Mother (Acoustic)

[Verse 1]
Friends wanna kill me
But I give them all my loving anyway
If God won't forgive me
I'm not the only one to make amends

[Chorus]
Mother, it's not in my hands
Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
Fools believe they can erase
All that they've done wrong
But I don't wanna be that son
(Mother)
(Mother)

[Verse 2]
Cheats try to judge me
But I can see the sins that stain your smile
Friends say I gotta see reason
But I'm crawling out of the ceiling
I'm tired of bowing to preachers all the time

[Chorus]
Mother, it's not in my hands
Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
Fools believe they can erase
All that they've done wrong
But I don't wanna be that son
(Mother)
(Mother)

[Bridge]
Friends say I gotta see reason
I'm crawling out of the ceiling
I'm tired of bowing to preachers
Can't find something to believe in
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh

[Chorus]
Mother, it's not in my hands
Try to understand it's only 'cause I can
Fools believe they can erase
All that they've done wrong
But I don't wanna be that son
(Mother)
(Mother)
