Good Mother

You sing in the shower
You sing in your sleep
Fresh face and fresh coffee
Like you have somewhere to be
I'm covered in laundry
And pink finger paint
I miss being pretty
Having something to say

You wanted a family
I wanted you to be happy
So I'll start the supper
Cause I'm a good mother

They say it's the hardest
Best thing they've ever done
But if it's just hardest
You can't tell anyone
I count down to nap time
I let her sleep late
That's twenty less minutes
She'll be calling my name

I tell you I love it
Cause what else do I say
To stay undercover
Cause I'm a good mother

It's questions, and castles, and playing pretend
She's dancing with monsters, and I'm one of them
Yeah, I'm one of them

She says, "you're the best mommy"
When I tuck her in
I smile and I kiss her
Then I cry in my bed

How can you love someone
And wish them away?
She won't have to wonder
Cause I'm a good mother
