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
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
