Mother, I

You gave me life
And I took it
With a bottle
Without question
Without looking back

You gave your love
And your time
To me freely
Till you were empty
Till there was nothing left

Mother, I'm selfish
But I am not a fool
You gave me everything
What does that leave you?

Mother, I'm helpless
Without you
But I took it willingly

Wasn't I supposed to?

You had your plans
And you swept them
Under the carpet
Like a secret
Like a dirty lie

You held the world in your hands
With your questions
And your reasons
In your hazel eyes

Mother, I'm selfish
But I am not a fool
You gave me everything
What does that leave you?

Mother, I'm helpless
Without you
I took it willingly

Wasn't I supposed to?
Yeah, wasn't I supposed to?

You gave me life
And I took it
With a bottle
Without question
Without looking back
