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