Mom Lyrics

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

At all

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

At all

I'm not sure where to start this

And I'm not sure where my heart is

Out of all these tracks I know that this is my hardest

But I'm here now I might as well sort through the garbage yeah

When I was just a little kid

You barely took care of me sometimes nobody did

It got so bad that Foster Care almost took me away

If that had happened I don't think I'd be alive today

I still I have some memories that haunt me in my dreams

Crying in a cold room

Crying for a dark face

I see no escape

I think It's too late

Don't know where I am but I

Know that I hate this place

These are some dark thoughts

I've drug around for many years

All the nights of mental fights

And days of holding back my tears

Abandonments my biggest fear well aside from rejection

But I gotta get back on track

Before I lose direction

Can you hear me

Can you

Skip up a couple years

To when I was 16

We got a call that you were living clean

Or so it seemed

And then you backslid

You'll do this several times

And every email that we get we never take to heart

When I was 17 I got a letter on my phone

Asking how I am and where I was

And where my life has gone

That's kinda funny huh

You wanna talk and see picture of me

Be involved and see the man that I've grown up to be

If you'd been here at the start

You wouldn't even hafta call at all

I just don't get it mom

Look at where the time has gone

But you don't care do you yeah

We don't mean a thing to you

You're too busy chasing highs

Your mind is in a mist

The blissful ignorance of a happiness that don't exist

I wish I could say I forgive ya but I'd

Be lying if I said I feel for ya

Yeah

Selfishness is something that I've never been a fan of

So when I heard you lost two more

I didn't join your fan club

That's two more kids that will grow up without they're mom angry

Thinking I got left by a person

That did not wanna have me

I wish you were around but that's not how it is

I can't control your decisions

Or tell you how to live

But it just bothers me

A weight I can't get off of me

I hope one day that you see all the things I have accomplished

I hope that maybe it leaves you astonished

I did it all myself

So go be proud of someone else

Yeah

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

Can you hear me

At all
