Mother May I

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Did you ever really think that you'd Expose the truth that pains the page? And in their asking, did you see their lie The motive, true and earnest side? Four in the morning, should they wake up? Or see them precious in this sleep Every step should break the same With every move and every need [Pre-Chorus] So run, little children, play I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on So run, little children, play I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on [Verse 2] Could you ever really wish of them One of your games and counts of truth? With every moment, you'll trace the doubt And of the premise, what about? Will they ever really see an end, or Does it matter now, from then? What of their love for once pronounced? And of this love, a loss without? [Pre-Chorus] So run, little children, play I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on So run, little children, play I'll leave the light off to turn your mother on I should have known... [Chorus] God only knows when your word isn't pure And the blood on your hands isn't yours I won't believe any word that you tell And I won't drink the blood if it spills [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] So give 'em the story they want you to Give 'em the story they want A kiss to you, girl Before you fall down and leave me So give 'em the story they want you to Give 'em the story they want A kiss to you, girl Before you fall down and leave me So give 'em the story they want you to Before you leave me So give 'em the story they want you to Before you leave me Give 'em the story they want you to Before you leave me So give 'em the story they want you to Before you leave [Chorus] God only knows when your word isn't pure And the blood on your hands isn't yours I won't believe any word that you tell And I won't drink the blood if it spills God only knows when your word isn't pure And the blood on your hands isn't yours I won't believe any word that you tell And I won't drink the blood if it spills
