Mother's Role

It's a bit of a burden now
The weight that I carry now
I can feel it pulling down
Down into the water now

I let my thoughts run through my head
Circling the gutter now
Words I've always left unsaid
I want to tell her now

You were never there for me
Now you need me there for you
Where's the logic in that thought?
Don't you think that's sort of cruel?
I don't owe you a damn thing
Get that through your fucking skull
You're already dead to me
You don't get the mother role
The mother role

You let me down from a child on
Never protected your child from
The consequences of your actions
Now this child gets to move on

You were never there for me
Now you need me there for you
Where's the logic in that thought?
Don't you think that's sort of cruel?
I don't owe you a damn thing
Get that through your fucking skull
You're already dead to me
You don't get the mother role
The mother role

You tried to kill yourself
I said never again
Would I take the blame
That you were trying to send
I feel no guilt for the pain that you're in
A self fulfilled prophesy
That you always tried to spin

You were never there for me
Now you need me there for you
Where's the logic in that thought?
Don't you think that's sort of cruel?
I don't owe you a damn thing
Get that through your fucking skull
You're already dead to me
You don't get the mother role
The mother role
The mother role
The mother role
