Mama's Boys Lyrics

I remember feelin' proud of how strong you were

But can't wear your heart on a sleeveless shirt

Tradin' all the pain keeps a father wary

So heavier's the iron the son must carry

Is the fire in your mouth put out by her tears

It's the shadows of shame that we most fear

But yours follow them 'stead of followin' you

Hurt people hurt people they say and you do

Afraid of the dark

So become what you hate

It all comes easier

Than challengin' fate

Born not of love

But of somethin' to prove

Like him like me

You're a mama's boy too

It's not only to yourself that you've been lyin'

One life to live that you only spend dyin'

Don't you ever wonder how it could've been

If you just let it go trade your sword for a pen

Afraid of the dark

Can't find what you lost

Be a man you're told

No peace for the past

Wounds left unclean

Will always haunt you

Like him like me

You're a mama's boy too

I don't have to forget

And neither do you

Don't have to forgive

But you have to choose

Bein' strong isn't weak

I'm sorry's not defeat

Mmmm hmmm

Like them like us

We're mama's boys too
