Phone Call To Mom

You were the guy
Who always made me smile
Exactly what a mother
Wants for her child
And when you'd come for dinner
Brought her flowers with your manners
Just so you could try and meet
Her sky high perfect standards
Mama always told me
She was proud of who I chose
Cause you treated me just like a queen
As far as we'd all known

So when you broke my heart in two
I knew just what I had to do
Grabbed my phone, called my mom, and told her how it all went wrong

I told her that the boy we loved
Was not just who we thought he was
She listened to my voice break on the line
She told me it was all okay
That I would be alright
And I lied to my mama
I told her I was fine
It made it feel so real
Like you were really gone
Oh what hurt me the most was that phone call to mom

None of us expected you
To leave the way you did
You let everybody hear me cry
And acted like a kid
And I told her every detail
When I called her on the phone
Told her how you really hurt me
Like your heart had gone stone cold
So if you ever see her
Shopping at the grocery store
Turn around and walk the other way
Cause mama she means war

Cause when you broke my heart in two
I knew just what I had to do
Grabbed my phone, called my mom, and told her how it all went wrong

I told her that the boy we loved
Was not just who we thought he was
She listened to my voice break on the line
She told me it was all okay
That I would be alright
And I lied to my mama
I told her I was fine
It made it feel so real
Like you were really gone
Oh what hurt me the most was that phone call to mom

And even though she told me
She was proud of who I chose
Oh my mama now she's proud
Of who I am and how I've grown
Cause even through the worst of it
I kept my head held high
Never let you bring me down
Even though you tried

But if you're ever coming back
For what we had before
Oh both me and my mama will show you to the door

I told her that the boy we loved
Was not just who we thought he was
She listened to my voice break on the line
She told me it was all okay
That I would be alright
And I lied to my mama
I told her I was fine
It made it feel so real
Like you were really gone
Oh what hurt me the most was that phone call to mom
Oh what hurt me the most was that phone call to mom
