Mama(n) Lyrics

I got a collection of pictures in my house

I even have the one when my mother became my father's spouse

All these photographs

Remind me of a past

That never seems to last

Why'd I stick them all to glass

In the rooms and the hallways I hung the better days

Holding onto the hope of a perfect family

The negatives are still

In the depths of my closet

I never printed them

I never printed them

Mama

Why are we broken

I'm sorting through the pieces and I've been wondering

Do I have all the pieces

Why are we fighting on Christmas day

Why is our father always away

You glanced over my shoulder at my little brother

And you said

"I'll tell you when you're older"

There's so many questions I still haven't asked

I'm scared of the answers and the scars of the past

You're trying to protect what's left of our innocence but

This silence is violent

Mama

Why are we broken

I'm sorting through the pieces

And I've been wondering

Do I have all the pieces

Mama

Why are we broken

Forgive me for asking

But I've been wondering

Ever since we were children

Ever since we were children

Mama I don't blame you

I know it's not your fault

But who else can I turn to

You know that dad will never talk

Mama I don't blame you

But who else can I turn to

Who else can I turn to

Mama

Why are we broken

I'm sorting through the pieces

And I've been wondering

Do I have all the pieces

Mama

Forgive me for asking

But I've been wandering

Ever since we were children

Ever since we were children
