Lyrics

[Hook]
Mama, when will you leave?
The love’s been gone, can’t you see?
I watched you freeze while he beat me down
Was I too small to make a sound?
Mama, why’d you close your eyes?
Every time he made me cry
I was just a kid, lost and weak
And you were too scared to speak


---

[Verse 1]
He hit like thunder, you stood like rain
Did nothing but drown inside your shame
Every scream I gave just faded out
While silence wrapped around your mouth
You said “He’s tired,” “He’s just stressed”
But mama, that’s no fucking excuse
You watched him bruise my chest
And told me, “Baby, push through”

I asked myself a million times
Was I the reason you closed your eyes?
Did you love him more than me?
Was I some kind of sacrifice?
I needed arms, you gave me ghosts
I needed warmth, you turned to cold
And I still loved you through it all
But damn, that love took a toll


---

[Hook]
Mama, when will you leave?
The love’s been gone, can’t you see?
I watched you freeze while he beat me down
Was I too small to make a sound?
Mama, why’d you close your eyes?
Every time he made me cry
I was just a kid, lost and weak
And you were too scared to speak


---

[Verse 2]
Now I write these bars like bleeding scars
Hiding all the screaming parts
Every slammed door feels like him
And your silence still cuts in

Was it fear that held you back?
Or was I never worth the fight?
I begged for light in all that black
But you just tucked me in at night
With lullabies that felt like lies
You said "It’s fine, just give it time"
But time won’t fix what he destroyed
And now I’m numb where joy once lived inside


---

[Hook – Broken/Whispered]
Mama, when will you leave?
Your silence still lives inside of me
I learned to fake, to smile, to lie
But deep down I still ask why
Mama, did you ever care?
Or were you just too scared to dare?
I was your son, your little boy
But you let him treat me like a toy


---

[Outro]
No hate in these lines, just truth I bleed
I needed you – you needed to leave
Now I carry it all, and I try to forgive
But I still ask why I had to survive just to live
