Mother, I

You gave me life And I took it With a bottle Without question Without looking back You gave your love And your time To me freely Till you were empty Till there was nothing left Mother, I'm selfish But I am not a fool You gave me everything What does that leave you? Mother, I'm helpless Without you But I took it willingly Wasn't I supposed to? You had your plans And you swept them Under the carpet Like a secret Like a dirty lie You held the world in your hands With your questions And your reasons In your hazel eyes Mother, I'm selfish But I am not a fool You gave me everything What does that leave you? Mother, I'm helpless Without you I took it willingly Wasn't I supposed to? Yeah, wasn't I supposed to? You gave me life And I took it With a bottle Without question Without looking back
