mother wound Lyrics

Every time I'm proud of somethin'

You remind me that I'll never be good enough

Everything must be perfect

That's why I'm so tough on you

I get so close and think I've got it

Soarin' on a divine callin'

But you ground me like a bullet in a wing

I want it to be good, you know I try to

But I hate everything that I do

I am nothin'

I am small

And all of it was all my fault

I deserved it

I'm the one who's lacking

They are never coming back

I know they hate me, and they ought to

If they get close, they'll all be onto me

Spoiled

Like cigarettes in the snow

Grandpa was in the hospital

You told me if I prayed enough

And when he still died

I knew that someone had fucked up

And it was either God or me

Later when Dad took off

And you said I was just like him

We could never finish anything

I wanna be good, you know I try to

But I hate everything that I do

I am nothin'

I am small

And all of it was all my fault

I deserved it

I'm the one who's lacking

They are never coming back

I know they hate me, and they ought to

If they get close, they'll all be onto me

Spoiled

Like cigarettes in the snow

Every time my wounds were healing

You were there to scratch 'em open

Detaining me

Happy to show me all the reasons why no one would ever

Stay with me

I wanna be good, you know I try to
