Yes, Mother
Wake up, you have to help
I'm sad and alone.
You're all I have and I know
that it is wrong.
I spoke to you those nights
Wiped you're crying eyes
Not Brother
Not Father
I was the one.
I allowed myself to give in
To all of you're endless pleas
Because you were my mother
Not Friend
Not Lover
You were the one.
My faith stood with you
No matter how wrong
You played a part of me
I raised some part of you
Now things are changed
You've found another
To wipe your crying eyes
Not Brother
Not Father
Friend is the one
She whispers to you
Tells you I'm wrong
She lies to you
And I've tried to move on
You've sunken low
But I can't pull you up
Not I
Not Brother
Not Father
Not lover
You're friend is the one
She's blinded you
To the life that's truly wrong
You turn your back
To the things she says
I always thought that I had you
Unfallible loyalty
At least on principle, right?
But time has told
She has whispered
You have turned.
My heart is broken
Once more in life
The culprit is wrong
Not Lover
Not Father
Not Friend
Not Brother
It is you
Yes, Mother.
