Forgive Me Mother
Saw you there
In the bottom
Of an old empty bottle
Again and again
Held back the truth
And let the heartache in
Forgive me, mother
For I have sinned
Cold, old house
That once was our home
It ain't the same
Since you've been gone
But I close my eyes
And there you are
Forgive me, mother
For I bear the scars
From broken glass
Stuck in my hands
On my knees
Cause it's more than I can stand
To wake up, break of day
Knowing nothing, is okay
I will smile, and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
That I've moved on
That I'm not stuck here
In a song, that I wrote
About you
About you
Now I spend my time
On the straight and narrow
But I'm barely holding on
I'll rise with the moon
I am your wayfaring son
Forgive me mother
For what I have done
Cause I can't calm
These shaking hands
On my knees
Cause it's more than I can stand
To wake up, break of day
Knowing nothing is okay
I will smile and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
And I've moved on
That I'm not lost here on my own
Without you
Without you
Break of day
Knowing nothing is okay
I will smile and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
And I've moved on
I'm not lost here in a song
About you
About you
In the bottom
Of an old empty bottle
Again and again
Held back the truth
And let the heartache in
Forgive me, mother
For I have sinned
Cold, old house
That once was our home
It ain't the same
Since you've been gone
But I close my eyes
And there you are
Forgive me, mother
For I bear the scars
From broken glass
Stuck in my hands
On my knees
Cause it's more than I can stand
To wake up, break of day
Knowing nothing, is okay
I will smile, and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
That I've moved on
That I'm not stuck here
In a song, that I wrote
About you
About you
Now I spend my time
On the straight and narrow
But I'm barely holding on
I'll rise with the moon
I am your wayfaring son
Forgive me mother
For what I have done
Cause I can't calm
These shaking hands
On my knees
Cause it's more than I can stand
To wake up, break of day
Knowing nothing is okay
I will smile and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
And I've moved on
That I'm not lost here on my own
Without you
Without you
Break of day
Knowing nothing is okay
I will smile and pretend
When I go to see my friends
That I'm alright
And I've moved on
I'm not lost here in a song
About you
About you
