My Mother's Words
i know it seems like i'm asking a lot.
can you see past yourself to all of me you forgot?
can you try to remember i have a human heart?
and i'm just doing my best to learn my part?
i know you know i've never been good at saying no.
seated behind you, pull up beside you, try to remind you
that i will rise and fall
from your expectations of she
'cause i will never be
all the things you want from me.
and i will rise and exceed
your expectations of she
'cause i refuse to carry
all the things you put on me:
woman, mother, lover, bird.
my song lingers unheard,
left here repeating my mother's words:
you can never say yes if you can't say no,
you can never say yes if you can't say no,
you can never say yes if you can't say no,
so, my friend, it's time for me to go.
