Mother

I was just a child
But born an old soul
Young enough to feel
But old enough to know

All the jewels in the world
Couldn't lift your pain
So you gave it to me
A long time ago

So many days in silence
Wrapped in darkness in your bed
Laying by the window
Talking to strangers in your head

So these days
I'm just learning to
Love myself again
Again

I wonder where you are
If you've found your peace
For I have surely tried
It'll stay a mystery

You were once a girl
With your own dreams
Imaginary worlds
A life that could never be

So many days in silence
Wrapped in darkness in your bed
Laying by the window
Talking to strangers in your head

So these days
I'm just learning to
Love myself again
Again

Mother, mother
I'm ready to let you go
To cut the ties
And say goodbye
You were never here
But you always ruled the show
Yeah, you always ruled the show

Mother, mother
It's time to let you go
So say goodnight
Say goodbye
Cause I don't need your love
Here's the end of your show
Yeah here's the end of your show
Yeah here's the end of your show

All the things you said
Trapped in my head
I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go
That I'm worthless ugly unlovable
That you hate me, I'm untrustable
Too fat to love and powerless
That I don't belong
That I'm worthless
Not good enough
Never good enough
I'm letting it go
I'm letting it go

I'm letting you go
I'm letting you go
