You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Pretend you can't see yourself

Could have been better

Could have been worse

You could have been yourself

Brought up in mom's arms

Nowhere to fall

Now you're out climbing

Taking it all

You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Suffer that moment's pain

Could have done better

Could have done worse

Lost in your love for more

Now you're out climbing

And you should know

You'll end up crying

Wherever you may go

Brought up in mom's arms

Nowhere to fall

Now you're out climbing

Climbing to fall

You'll end up crying

With your mother's eyes

Something is lost from the start

Could have been better

Could have been worse

You're going to need me there
