Mama

Lyrics

VERSE 1] Mama, why’s my heart feel fake? Why do I bleed nothing when I break? Everyone keeps asking me “Do you even know winter?” Do you know why my fingers, thin as dry branches, ache? Of course i know, but why pretend i don’t? My life rides on these fragile twigs. Of course i know, but why pretend i don’t? My life rides on these fragile twigs. ⸻ [VERSE 2] Mama, why’s my voice so cold? Why do I have to sing rusty winters, growing old? Everyone keeps asking me “Do you even know summer?” Do you know the heat of living words, the warmth they hold? Of course i know, but why pretend you don’t? My life rides on these fragile twigs. Of course i know, but why pretend you don’t? My life rides on these fragile twigs. ⸻ [BRIDGE] Could you give me a heart of your own? I wanna feel the language that’s yours. See the stars in your eyes, And tell them they’re beautiful. But why… am I still here, waiting?
