Lyrics Mama - Lø Spirit

Mama, I know this wasn't part of the plan
I'm not the son you wanna show to your friends
I know you think that I'm less of a man
But you won't say it
Say it

I know you think you do the best that you can
I think there's parts of you you don't understand
You make me question everything that I am
'Til I can't say it
Say it

You took my voice like I owed it to you
Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Take the rest of me
Why don't you? Hmm, why don't you?
You closed the door I held open for you
Made me ashamed of who I've turned into
Take the rest of me
Why don't you? Yeah, why don't you?

Mama, this house you made was never a home
Did you love us or love the control?
Maybe it's best we all learn to let go
But we can't say it
So I'll say it

I painted smiles over all the abuse
'Cause I was young and that's what kids do
I was protecting my mom from the truth
But now I'll say it
Say it

You took my voice like I owed it to you
Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Take the rest of me
Why don't you?
You closed the door I held open for you
Made me ashamed of who I've turned into
Take the rest of me
Why don't you?

God knows we know 'almost'
God knows we know 'almost'
I worked so hard to be your gentleman
Left so many things unsaid
Tried to be your best friend
Until the walls were fucking caving in
Closets spilling skeletons
When does it ever end?
Mama, mama
Mama, mama
When does it end?
Mama, mama
Mama, mama

You took my voice like I owed it to you
Buried the boy that I still hold onto
Take the rest of me
Why don't you?
