Leave Me Alone Mom

מילים

[Verse 1] Mom, I know the calls go quiet When my name comes up at home I keep missing every birthday Then complain that I'm alone [Pre-Chorus] I hear the words I never say Caught behind my teeth [Chorus] I'm sorry, Mom, I let you down I feel like the family’s loose end now I never chose the day I came So please don't ask me to explain Just leave me room to disappear I'm not ready to be near [Verse 2] Your old coat hangs by the doorway Still smells faintly of the rain I could tell you I am trying But it sounds like one more claim [Pre-Chorus] I know you wanted something more Than locked doors and missed calls [Chorus] I'm sorry, Mom, I let you down I feel like the family’s loose end now I never chose the day I came So please don't ask me to explain Just leave me room to disappear I'm not ready to be near [Bridge] Maybe one day I can sit there Long enough to hear you out But tonight the smallest kindness Is not making me talk now [Final Chorus] I'm sorry, Mom, I let you down I feel like the family’s loose end now I never chose the day I came But I know that isn't yours to blame Just leave me room, don't pull me near I'm still learning how to be here [Outro] I'm still learning how to be here
