Yours Truly

Mother, mother

You don't know who I am

I spent my life trying to be a better man

Mother, mother

It didn't go as I planned

There comes a time when you cease to pretend

There was a price I had to pay

I could not stay

Mother, Mother

I knew that day would come

Maybe deep inside I was just playing numb

Mother, Mother

I'm standing on my own

But there's no place that I can call a home

It's the price I got to pay

I'm so afraid

I have to face the world alone

Where the souls are cold as stone

I must say, you were probably wrong

When you said it would make me strong

Yes, you were wrong

Mother, mother

This is not wonderland

I never thought my life would get so out of hand

Mother, mother

Maybe you don't care what I am

You loved me more than I can understand

People don't love like you do

They're not like you

I have to face the world alone

Where the souls are cold as stone

I must say, you were probably wrong

When you said it would make me strong

Yes, you were wrong

I know you wish you could only turn back time

But life is not a story that we can rewrite

And that's the way it is

There is no goodnight kiss

Or lullaby

I have to face the world alone

Where the souls are cold as stone

I must say, you were probably wrong

When you said it would make me strong

Yes, you were wrong
