Mama Said

[Verse 1] Mama she has taught me well Told me when I was young "Son, your life's an open book Don't close it 'fore it's done" "The brightest flame burns quickest" Is what I heard they say A son's heart's owned to Mother But I must find my way [Chorus 1] Let my heart go Let your son grow Mama let my heart go Or let this heart be still [Verse 2] Rebel, my new last name Wild blood in my veins Apron strings around my neck The mark that still remains Left home at an early age Of what I heard was wrong I never asked forgiveness But what I said is done [Chorus 1] [Bridge] Never I ask you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave Never I ask of you But never I gave But you gave me your emptiness I now take to my grave So let this heart be still [Verse 3] Mama now I'm coming home I'm not all you wished of me But a mother's love for her son Unspoken, Help me be I took your love for granted And all the things you said to me I need your arms to welcome me But a cold stone's all I see [Chorus 1] [x 2] [Bridge]
