[Em D C]
[Verse]
Em D C
She said that we don’t have to hug
Em D C
She said that I don’t have to love
Em D C
And when she took my wrist and pushed me 'gainst the wall
Em D C
The look on her face made me afraid of who she was
[Pre-chorus]
Em D C
And it's all okay 'cause it's all in my head
Em D C
And it's all my fault that my tears have stained the bed
[Chorus]
Em
When I think of my mother
D C
I think of a guard holding me captive but not in her arms
Em D
When I think of her voice I think of a siren
C
Constantly sounding after pulling the alarm
Em D
I'm anxious and broken because of her words
C
I’ll never get back the time I spent putting her first
Em D
When I think of my mother I'm often in tears
C
'Cause she is the reason for all of my fears
Em D C
Mommy
Em D C
Why don’t you want me
[Verse]
Em D C
How does it feel to be alone
Em D C
To call and to text once every year to ask me home
Em D C
Do you ever hurt to cry or care I'm not around
Em D C
Do you not regret the little contact we have now
[Pre-chorus]
Em D C
And it's all okay 'cause it's all in my head
Em D C
And it's all my fault that my tears have stained the bed
[Chorus]
Em
When I think of my mother
D C
I think of a guard holding me captive but not in her arms
Em D
When I think of her voice I think of a siren
C
Constantly sounding after pulling the alarm
Em D
I'm anxious and broken because of her words
C
I’ll never get back the time I spent putting her first
Em D
When I think of my mother I'm often in tears
C
'Cause she is the reason for all of my fears
Em D C
Mommy
Em D C
Why don’t you want me
Em D C
Why don't you want me
Em D C
Mommy
