Your Mother’s Favorite

Fight after fight

Break after break

Night after night

Lying awake

I can't find rest

Watching you walk

Watching you laugh

Watching you talk

It cuts me in half

'Cause no matter how I dress

I can't be enough

I was never enough

'Cause you like the bad boys

With the long black hair

With their crooked smile

And their jet trap stare

And I, no, I'll never compare

'Cause we were trough before we could start

'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart

But when he's busy

Break a little part

Know that I will alway be

Your mother's favorite

Know that I will alway be

Your mother's favorite

Week after week

Mile after mile

Unable to speak

Unable to smile

I've made it trough

Word after word

Day after day

What I've never heard

Unable to say

To someone new

I love you

I loved you

But you like the bad boys

With the long black hair

With their crooked smile

And their jet trap stare

And I know I'll never compare

'Cause we were trough before we could start

'Cause he was tattoed on the back of your heart

But when he's busy

Break a little part

Know that I will alway be

Your mother's favorite

Know that I will alway be

Your mother's favorite

Stop, stop, stop, stop breaking me down

Stop, stop, stop, stop turning me round

Stop, stop, stop, stop this war

I, I, I, I've learned how to fall, for

For the person who calls me

They were looking for

'Cause you like the bad boys

With the long black hair

With their crooked smile

And their jet trap stare

And that's when she came

Like a brand new start

Now, she's the new name on the back of my heart

And when you're busy

Know that I won't ever be

Your mother's favourite

Know that I will always be

Her mother's favourite

Her mother's favourite

Her mother's favourite
