歌词
作曲 : Steven D Cooper
For the times that you took care of me when I was sick
For the times that you provided, Lord knows we weren’t rich
For the times I needed money and you helped me out
For the times I was in trouble and you bailed me out
I know that you’re not perfect, I know you’ve tried your best
The reality is that we live in this giant mess
And it’s only getting worse, I’m sure you can tell
But you don’t even realize that you put me through hell
And I don’t know what I’m doing, sometimes I think I’m ruined
And I blame you, and I hate you, but I love you, It’s stupid
Try not to be a victim, but I never had a system
I only had myself for far back as I can vision
I left home at 17, try not to sugar coat it
But I wonder sometimes if my momma even noticed
Did my family even care, were any of you there
When I slept on the floor of that apartment and on the stairs
Was so scared and embarrassed
I knew that it’s apparent
It’s clear I’ve got some issues
And I blame my lack of parents
You swear that it’s all in my head, I guess it’s crazy
To refuse to be just like you, and want more than you gave me
So hate me, call my phone to curse me out
Dig up all my dirt, put it online and search it out
Cut me with a knife, if it helps you sleep at night
But I don’t want to fight, Mom I know it isn’t right
Oh momma, just saying I love ya’
Inside there’s so much pain
Could you make it go away
Oh momma, no one above ya’
Pick me up when I am down
Need you to hear me now
Oh momma
Momma I know you’re hearing this, it’s your oldest son
If only things were different but decisions now are old and done
I try to stay strong but I feel like I’m the only one
Miss my family, brothers, cousins, I’m over run
By the hurt and emotions, every holiday spent alone
It’s atrocious how things unfolded, and now we can’t unfold it
Feel like an orphan in this world, no way to change it
I get hurt and turn away but it’s time to turn back and face it
What happens when I have kids of my own
And they wonder why it’s just mommy and daddy alone
I don’t know how to change it yo’, I guess I only know
That I can’t just walk away or just let it go
And sometimes I get so lonely, And I just want back my family
But damn it, it’s a fantasy, I’m canned in this calamity
I’m stranded and I’m damned to be, the damage of your damage spree
This hand that you have dealt me, isn’t helping, you can’t even see
Momma, just saying I love ya’
Inside there’s so much pain
Could you make it go away
Oh momma, no one above ya’
Pick me up when I am down
Need you to hear me now
Oh momma
Hush little baby, don’t you cry (Momma)
Momma’s gonna sing, a lullaby (Mamma where are you)
Momma’s gonna take, away the pain
Momma’s gonna make, it go away ( I can’t find you)
Hush little baby, don’t you cry (Momma)
Momma’s gonna sing, a lullaby (Momma)
Momma’s gonna take, away the pain
Momma’s gonna make, it go away
I know you had good intentions, this never was planned
But sometimes you have to own the situation at hand
The damage was done, I wish you knew how I feel
And we can’t make it disappear but we can start to rebuild
But you don’t even think that you did anything wrong
You won’t even acknowledge the words to this song
So I stay distant and I stay gone
I wipe my tears, and just move on
Momma
