Mama (Strings Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] I see the past still hides in your closet I see you can't move, but you're starting the process So, now, I hope to God that you're making some progress Guess I don't believe, but I'm just being cautious I see the guilt weighing heavy on your conscious I see that all the pain isn't gone as a constant I hope that you can step back and put it in context 'Cause that man, he belongs in a coffin [Pre-Chorus] I hope, one day, that you will see Everything I did was for you and me Everything I did was for you to see, you to see I hope, one day, that you'll believe Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me I'm еverything I am 'cause you made mе, you made me [Chorus] I wish I had a verse with some better words Wish I had a hook that you never heard I wish, one day, that you wouldn't hurt 'Cause, Mama, you gave me the world I wish I had a way with some better rhymes But I still can't say what I can't find I wish, one day, that you wouldn't cry 'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive [Post-Chorus] Whatever you need, I promise I'll try I promise I'll try 'Cause, Mama— [Verse 2] I know it all comes up when we're talking I know you're tryna save me the pain that it's causing I never see you cry, now I hear that it's pouring So, let me be the roof while you pull up the flooring I know it's not meant to be something you're forcing But I wish that you could force a little more, it's important 'Cause now it's your time and your turn to be open And everything you kept in a box, you can throw it [Pre-Chorus] I hope, one day, that you will see Everything I did was for you and me Everything I did was for you to see, you to see And I hope, one day, that you'll believe Everything I have, yeah, you gave to me I'm everything I am 'cause you made me, you made me [Chorus] I wish I had a verse with some better words Wish I had a hook that you never heard I wish, one day, that you wouldn't hurt 'Cause, Mama, you gave me the world I wish I had a way with some better rhymes But I still can't say what I can't find I wish, one day, that you wouldn't cry 'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive [Post-Chorus] Whatever you need, I promise I'll try I promise I'll try 'Cause, Mama, you kept me alive [Outro] (Ooh, ooh, ooh) 'Cause, mama, you kept me alive
