Mother Lyrics

The waiting room feels heavy, dark, and slow

As she walks in, cold, with dreams that are faded

Sitting down in fear of the unknown

They'll take her hand and try to erase her past

She tells them that she needs some time alone

A quiet room where no one can listen

Clutching at her sides, she's on her own

And when it's safe there, she looks down and whispers

"I'm afraid I will regret this

And I just wanted you to know

Everyone has their thoughts

And I'm drowning from the weight of it all

I wish there was a simple answer

A magic cure, an easy road

But this I know

I won't leave you, won't let you go

And we will find a way

But I don't understand how

I will do this, will make a home

Where we get through the day

'Cause if I lost you, I'd lose me too"

Thank you for the sacrifice you made

Not knowing how we'd be able to get through

I'll never understand everything that you gave

But I'm older now, here, ready to tell you

You didn't know if you'd regret this

And haven't ever since that day

Everyone had their thoughts

And you shut them out and walked away

You didn't buy the simple answer

You chose to give me everything

When you told me

"I won't leave you, won't let you go

And we will find a way

But I don't understand how

I will do this, will make a home

Where we get through the day

The sacrifice is hard but it's the sacrifice I choose

'Cause if I lost you, I'd lose me too"
