I don't know what to do when
I lose temper and I still talk
I didn't wanna make you cry
Truth is, I've never been 'shamed of you
I'd cry 'cause how much I love you
I wish that I told you once
Said, "That's the life of a mother, babe"
And that, I learned when I saw you in the middle of the night
Eating from the plate I never did
You didn't want me seein' you when you were weak
You said as you covered how you drooled out your mouth
I didn't know how to feel
When you're terrified, feelin' blue
You would still sing me melodies
When you're fightin' through armies
I'd only bring you more enemies
You would throw yourself out to lessen my pain
Said you'll go through it all and die just to be my remedy
You lived for me
I should've lived for you, too
I should've apologized
When I knew that I had the chance
I wish I could turn back time
Time don't heal what's forever young
And the more of the days go
I wish I had you for one more day
Said, "That's the life of a mother, babe"
And that, I learned when I saw you in that white and blue gown
We were never homebound
You didn't want me seein' you when you were weak
You said, "Go home and play some games with your friends"
I should've known how to feel
When you're terrified, feelin' blue
You would still sing me melodies (sing me melodies)
When you're fightin' through armies
I'd only bring you more enemies
You would throw yourself out to lessen my pain
Said you'll go through it all and die just to be my remedy
Just to save me
I should've died for you, too
Woah, woah-oh
Woah
I should've died for you, too
Woah, woah-oh
Woah
I should've died for you
Throw yourself out to lessen my pain
Said you'll go through it all and die just to be my memory
You lived for me
So I'm gonna live for you, too
