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