I'm coming home again

But I'm not here to stay

Stop trying to protect me from

The shadows of the day.

I know you got it wrong

But we all make mistakes

I need you to be strong

It's not your fault you're not to blame.

And I said

Mama

Ain't like it used to be

When I would hold your hand

And wobble on your knee.

Oh mama

I'm not that little child

Don't have to be afraid

To let me go and live my life.

Your demons took control

They stole the love I craved

But there's no way to change

These shadows cast from yesterday.

Stop trying to repair

The years that went to waste

Although it's good advice

It's much too little much too late.

And I said

Mama

Ain't like it used to be

When I would hold your hand

And wobble on your knee.

Oh mama

I'm not that little child

Don't have to be afraid

To let me go and live my life.

I don't see history repeating I

Won't be making the same sacrifice

I've spent so long hoping

And now that you've opened your eyes

I'm fine

I'm fine

I'm fine.
