Mother Once Told Me ft. Satine Lyrics

Mother told me not to talk to strangers

She said that they come with knives and scissors

What would happen if maybe I gave these strangers a bit of my time

Time will tell if I'm in any danger

Mother knows best, I shouldn't be messin' around

But I failed the test, ah

No one else to blame

Playin' stupid games

Don't know why, can't comply

Or control myself

My desires

Burn like fire

In the dark, losing sleep

Think back to all the times

That I slipped away

Calling my name

Cut me down, bleeding out

I don't know how

I got in this deep

Can I stay asleep?

Wound with salt, it's my fault

Where do I draw the line?

But it's too late

I wish I listened to my mom…

Mother said be kind to those who meet you

Even if I'm just a toy in their view

So I buckle up, smile wide

Prep myself for a hell of a ride

Time will tell if I can make it through

Mother told me I could never be someone

Who has done all the things that I have done

When I told her that the blood's on her hands, not mine

She said that I'm walkin' a thin line

Said there were too many complications

Get ahold of all my fixations

Said that nobody needs to know

Maybe I won't come home one night

Jump right off of your twisted tightrope

Never seen again, would you miss me then?

Would you miss me then?

Caught up in a daydream

(I wish I listened to my mom)

Know I've fucked up, sorry...

Mother knows best, I shouldn't be playin' around

But I failed the test, ah

No one else to blame

Playin' stupid games

Don't know why, can't comply

Or control myself

My desires

Burn like fire

In the dark, losing sleep

Think back to all the times

That I slipped away

Calling my name

Cut me down, bleeding out

I don't know how

I got in this deep

Can I stay asleep?

Wound with salt, it's my fault

Where do I draw the line?

But it's over

I should have listened to my-

Don't know why, can't comply

Or control myself

My desires

Burn like fire

In the dark, losing sleep

Think back to all the times

That I slipped away

Calling my name

Cut me down, bleeding out

I don't know how

I got in this deep

Can I stay asleep?

Wound with salt, it's my fault

Where do I draw the line?

But it's too late

I wish I listened to my mom…
