Sometimes I wonder how we became so disconnected
You look at me and think I'm unaffected
And all at once I feel pride and guilt
Because even my own mother couldn't break the walls I'd built
You used to be able to see right through me
Now I doubt you see me at all my dear
And that's fine, I understand
I won't shed a tear
But I'll wake up one night
Breathless and afraid
And I'll call out for you
Forgetting you had strayed
And at first I'll ask myself
What did I do
Whatever it was
Turned my heart black and blue
I won't blame myself entirely though
The problem with you pushing me away
Was that you said goodbye before I said hello
Mothers are meant to stay.
