Mommie Dearest

Текст песни

[INTRO] The hallway echoes, your silhouette on the wall, A quiet promise that never seemed to fall. [VERSE 1] I loved you like a maybe, For way too many years. Held on to your tomorrow, While you hid in all your fears. You wore your dead dad’s jacket, But you never fit the seams. Still I kept sewing up The life you only dreamed. [PRE-CHORUS] You said, “Baby, trust me,” Then you’d turn and let me down. Your words were all big promises, Your hands kept holding ground. [CHORUS] I loved your potential, Not the man I got. You kept me on a loop, While you gave me what you’re not. Mama’s spare key, Mommie dearest in your room. I was loving who you’d be While you left me with a bruise. [VERSE 2] You lived with your mama, Like she was your wife. She cleaned up every mess, While I begged for some real life. Pain pills in the drawer, Denial on your tongue. You’d swear you had it handled, Then the damage came undone. [PRE-CHORUS] One minute you’re sorry, Then you make it all my fault. Love, then fight, then hurt me, Like it was your only thought. [CHORUS] I loved your potential, Not the man I got. You kept me on a loop, While you gave me what you… You kept me on a loop, While you gave me what you’re not. [BRIDGE] The clock keeps ticking, but the shadows stay, Every promise a ghost that fades away. I try to find the truth in the silence, But the words we said keep me in defiance. [HOOK] I’ll hold the memories, but not the scars, Letting go is the only way to heal our hearts. [OUTRO] The hallway echoes, but now it’s silent,
