Mother

Mother - Matt Maltese

I don't wanna make a big scene

I just need a moment lying on this street

If your lungs stop you die

If you lose love that's life

What a blue sky

All my friends they miss you a lot

I know your father probably hates my guts

When a lover cuts ties

Other people get caught in the crossfire

And yesterday I told my mother

You'll learn to love again

I know she was the daughter

You never had and I know

Sometimes you might miss her

But I know the years can heal

And if there is another

Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her

Tuesday with your wet hair in curls

Wearing pajamas in the outside world

Couldn't look in your eyes

When you got in your car

And started to drive

And yesterday I told my mother

You'll learn to love again

I know she was the daughter

You never had and I know

Sometimes you might miss her

I know the years can heal

And if there is another

Maybe you'll love them in the same way you loved her

And tomorrow I'll say "Mother

You'll learn to love again I know you wanna write her

You never thought you'd grow a blood bond to another

You didn't birth but that's the joy of human nature

Some people stumble into your heart for all time
