Veins of My Mother
I dreamed I was flying
In your kitchen
Caught up in a rush
Of wishing
You'll never find love
Just by looking
And hanging on feels
Like gym class
When I was 12
When I touch the ceiling
All my strength fails
I let the ground
I never thought my body would wear out
Don't leave me
Don't turn your back
You were always the strong one
And I was the needy
Don't leave me
Honey, I can fix this
You know it's hard for
An orphan to give up
All the things you never said
I got old while I was waiting
What brought me home was weariness
Not all the things you never said
Like I love you
I'm sorry
I forgive you
My DNA pulsed
Through the veins of my mother
How do I know myself since I've never met her?
Sometimes the stars you wish on were airplanes
Maybe that's why you never came
When the light hits my face
It just takes a minute to remember
Then I feel stupid
Don't leave me
Don't turn your back
You were always the strong one
And I was the needy
Don't leave me
Sugar I can fix this
You know it's hard for
An orphan to give up
Oh it's hard for
An orphan to give up
In your kitchen
Caught up in a rush
Of wishing
You'll never find love
Just by looking
And hanging on feels
Like gym class
When I was 12
When I touch the ceiling
All my strength fails
I let the ground
I never thought my body would wear out
Don't leave me
Don't turn your back
You were always the strong one
And I was the needy
Don't leave me
Honey, I can fix this
You know it's hard for
An orphan to give up
All the things you never said
I got old while I was waiting
What brought me home was weariness
Not all the things you never said
Like I love you
I'm sorry
I forgive you
My DNA pulsed
Through the veins of my mother
How do I know myself since I've never met her?
Sometimes the stars you wish on were airplanes
Maybe that's why you never came
When the light hits my face
It just takes a minute to remember
Then I feel stupid
Don't leave me
Don't turn your back
You were always the strong one
And I was the needy
Don't leave me
Sugar I can fix this
You know it's hard for
An orphan to give up
Oh it's hard for
An orphan to give up
