Oh, mama, look at me now
Look at the bruises on my brow
Oh, mama, when i was a child
You busted my lip so you could survive
Oh, mama, i saw you today
You hid under covers to sleep it away
Oh, mama dad wrecked the car
I dream of him silent now with his scars
And every word you say is a lie
You just pretend i'll be all right
Take a deep breath
Shut your eyes
The ocean is dark
Keep your hands up
The current is wild
The water is cold
After this fall you'll never have enough love
Will we ever get enough love
Oh, mama, i think i forgive
I've only got one life to live
Oh mama although you failed
I've got my own rough winds to sail
And what if all i say is a lie
And i just pretend i'll be all right
