Ezzie Stone - Mother Lyrics

Mother, have I failed you?
You said to live my life one way
Now I have gone and thrown it away

Sire, the sirens blare the night away
Liar! they screem, have I lost my way?
Mother can't you see that live had only just begun
Don't take it all away from me

(Mother) why can't I call you?
(Mother) I'm not the one who
Through my chances sacrificed my life for you
But you'll never let me live again
And I can't live my life that way

You try to live through me
You try to rule me
I try to run from you
I try to hide from you
But you never let me go, do you?
Oh no no no

I'm not gonna be your slave
I'm not gonna behave
I'm not going to be you

Can you even hear me?
Are you even list'ning?
I try my best but always let you down
But you won't always be around

Mama can't you set me free
Please leave and just let me be
You're draggin' me throguh your footsteps
But I'm not going to be you
I'm not going to be you
I'm not going to be you
I'm not going to be you
