Mummy Why

מילים

[Verse 1] Mummy, why you hate me What did I do wrong? I kept my shoes by the door I tried to be strong I drew you little flowers On the edge of the page You looked right through my face Like I was made of rain [Pre-Chorus] I learned to walk on eggshells I learned to stay too still I kept my tears in my throat So you could never feel [Chorus] Mummy, why you hate me Say it to my face Mummy, why you hate me I still want your grace I kept calling out (please don't let me fall) Mummy, why you hate me Why do I hear that call [Verse 2] The kettle in the morning The slam of every door I knew the mood in your footsteps Before you hit the floor I made my bed so perfect I folded all the shame Still the house went cold When you said my name [Pre-Chorus] I studied all your silence Like it was some rule I thought if I was quiet You'd forget I was the bruise [Chorus] Mummy, why you hate me Say it to my face Mummy, why you hate me I still want your grace I kept calling out (please don't let me fall) Mummy, why you hate me Why do I hear that call [Bridge] If love was a door you closed I stood outside for years Small hands on the handle Big eyes full of tears If you ever see me Know I made it through But the child in me is still asking Why I wasn't enough for you [Final Chorus] Mummy, why you hate me Say it to my face Mummy, why you hate me I still want your grace I kept calling out (please don't let me fall) Mummy, why you hate me Why do I hear that call Mummy, why you hate me Mummy, why you hate me I’m still here I’m still here
