Lyrics Mom - Alice Wonder

Woke up to echoes of you shouting
Walls are thin, can you hear me doubting?
You said love was a fire but you played with the flame
Burned my heart down while you hid from the blame

You wore your crown made of shattered glass
Thought I'd be broken but I learned to outlast

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise
Taught me how to run but never how to fly
With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes
I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

You painted smiles over all the bruises
While I cleaned up every mess that confuses
You wore a mask like it's part of the game
But I'm cutting through this, I won't feel ashamed

You wore your crown made of shattered glass
Thought I'd be broken but I learned to outlast

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise
Taught me how to run but never how to fly
With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes
I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

All those nights spent crying alone
Building my fortress from bricks you've thrown
But now I'll rise like a phoenix from ash
Your shadow won't hold me, I'll break free at last

Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise
Taught me how to run but never how to fly
With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes
I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed
Hey mom, you're a wreck in disguise
Taught me how to run but never how to fly
With your lipstick lies and your empty goodbyes
I'm breaking these chains while you stay paralyzed

Mommy, why don't you love me?
