You gave me life Provided all the things to help me grow Such a sacrifice Despite my flaws you love me as your own But we need you As much as we pretend we're in control And we need to Protect you but we don't How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first She's broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her Everything a mother gave All we ever do is take Everything a mother made Can we keep our mother safe How easily We damage and defile our only home It seems that we Destroy the very source of all we know But we need you As much as we pretend we're in control And we need to Protect you but we don't How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first She's broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her Everything a mother gave All we ever do is take Everything a mother made Can we keep our mother safe Everything a mother gave All we ever do is take Everything a mother made Can we keep our mother safe How can you mistreat the very one who loved you first She's broken, bruised and bleeding from the things we do to her Everything a mother gave All we ever do is take Everything a mother made Can we keep our mother safe
