Lyrics Mother - Maverick Sabre

Mama, I love you
Now I understand your pain
Mama, I need you
'Cause I feel the very same
Mama, I thank you
For all the love you gave
Even though I lost my way
I know I'll always be right there for you

Never understood the drama, never understood you, mother
All that pain you?
I was lost, lost like you and, now, I was wrong
Done wrong like you, but now, now
Now I understand your thinking and understand you're sinking
Cause I'm drinkin' to forgive it
Sorry if my lyrics ever made you lose a wink
And I'm sorry I barely came to see you when you were ill
I just didn't want it to be real
I saw my two aunts pass the same year
And we nearly lost dad in them same tears
So my hero looked so small and so scared
When I was up in court here
But I live my own freedom, my own wars and my own fears
Should have been a better man anyway
I'm still learnin', let me try again, I
Mama, I love you
Now I understand your pain
Mama, I need you
Cause I feel the very same
Mama, I thank you
For all the love you gave
Even though I lost my way
I know I'll always be right there for you
I remember hitting the screams, pale face
When you said that you'd leave
Now I wish I could just take you with me
Cause now I understand why you hated the way that I speak
I don't wanna live sometimes, that's why I'm smokin' this weed
And I was just a little kid, soaked up in innocence
Thought you were ignorant but, queen, you would struggle within
Love you like my father does, gave me strength and gave me love
Now let me give you all my heart
Mama, I love you
Now I understand your pain
Mama, I need you
Cause I feel the very same
Mama, I thank you
For all the love you gave
Even though I lost my way
I know I'll always be right there for you
(Woah, Woah)

(Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And thank you for the love, mother
And thank you for the hearts, mother
And thank you for the hell you went through
So I and Laura could live better (Ooh)
And thank you for my life, mother
You taught me how to fight, mother
And thank you for the positives
Cause you raised a young man through all the struggling
And thank you for love and thank you for my heart (Ooh)
