Oh, mama, mama
Why can’t you call me back?
I’ve tried to make or break
But I’m slipping thru the cracks
Where did your heart go
When did I fade to black
Oh, father, father
Why can’t you follow through?
You were supposed to be different,
But you were just as detached, too
Where does your pride hide
When did it block me from view
Oh, sister, sister
Why can’t you learn to listen?
You’ve choked on envy
While I broke myself with patience
Where is your noose to hang me
When did I only become competition
Oh, my heart, my heart
Why can’t you just let it go?
Why are they larger than life
Taking up a big slice
Where can I repair myself
When did I become so insignificant
Oh, mama, mama
Why can’t you love me back?
Why can’t you love me
Why can’t you love
Why can’t you
Why can’t
Why
