Mama’s House

歌词

[Verse 1] You said you wanted more Same dreams as mine But every night I watched You circle back to her side She set the table for two You called it home But you never left that house You never stood on your own [Pre-Chorus] You let her hold the keys You let her pick the line If I asked for truth You made me feel like I was blind She called the shots You let her play the queen I was building something real You were still a boy in between [Chorus] Mama’s house Mama’s rules (mama’s rules) Mama’s house I can’t break through You said future But you never moved Mama’s house Ain’t room for two [Verse 2] Missing teeth when you grin Money gone by dawn Always “next week, baby” But the next week never comes I see the shadows in your eyes The way you shake your hand You swear it’s nothing at all But I know more than you can stand [Pre-Chorus] And when I asked you why You turned it back on me Said I was too much Said I was the one who couldn’t see But I can see that couch I can see that chain A grown man trapped in stories And a mother wrapped in blame [Chorus] Mama’s house Mama’s rules (mama’s rules) Mama’s house I can’t break through You said future But you never moved Mama’s house Ain’t room for two [Bridge] I wanted a door key I wanted a name A place where love could live Without me carrying the shame She can keep the lawn cut Keep the curtains in place I’m not staying to be second In a house I can’t replace [Chorus] Mama’s house Mama’s rules (mama’s rules) Mama’s house I can’t break through You said future But you never moved Mama’s house Ain’t room for two [Outro] Ain’t room for two Mama’s house I’m done with you (mama’s rules)
