Jacob from the Bible (OurVinyl Sessions)

Momma, don't worry, it took me years
To say I'm sorry, to see your tears
Momma, forgive me, I grew up too fast
But that's not on you, it's in the past

You're not wrong, I might be strong
But I'm no Jacob from the Bible

My first lover shared my name
My holy secrets enabled Cain
I thought I loved him, maybe I did
I was so yong then, you could've called me a kid

Was I wrong to feel so strong?
He's no Jacob from the Bible

But damn, he made me pray
He might be my only rival
Holding me that way

Momma, help me understand
I don't wanna be held down by a heavenly man
Momma, help me carry on
They call me wrong, you call me strong

But I'm no Jacob from the Bible
I'm not even on the page
Just a life-long disciple
Of loving you that way
