Lie, lie, lie to me
Lie, lie to me
Break my heart again
Lie, lie, lie to me
Lie, lie to me
Break my heart again
Yeah, momma, I needed you
I needed you there for me momma
I needed you there for advice
'Cause now that I'm grown, I can't deal with the trauma
I can't deal with the problems I'm facing
A stranger to love and affection
I guess that's one of the reasons
Why I give my heart to the same ones who break it
But I guess I'm okay
Even if I feel like breaking, still I'ma say I'm okay
Instead of me facing my problems
I just feel better with running away
That's just what I do
And everyone leaves, all because of me
Mama, I need you to tell me I'm handsome and love me
Maybe I wouldn't feel so ugly
Maybe I wouldn't feel I'm drowning
Maybe I wouldn't feel alone
Maybe instead of just letting it hurt me you
You could've taught me the time to let go
You could've taught me my worth
So I'm just gon' take what is given
You couldn't love me the way that you should've
Maybe I wouldn't look for love in these women
You could have taught me 'bout loving myself
'Cause I get so attached and just give 'em my heart
You could've showed me the brighter things
Now that I'm grown, I just live in the dark
I live in this bottomless pit
Of pity and I'm so ashamed
Momma, I love you with all of my heart
But a part of me feels like you're part of the blame
(Yeah)
Dad I needed you, wasn't I good enough?
Wasn't I good enough for you and momma to get off the drugs?
I know I'm strong, but if you was there like you should've
I know that I would be stronger
I know I'm doing okay for myself
I know that every son needs his father
You could've taught me to fight
And fend for myself when you not around
I really needed that from you
'Cause right now this life is beating me down
Right now, this life isn't worth it
But you could've showed me the meaning
Lately I feel like I'm puzzled
And you got the pieces that's missing
You really got what I'm missing
Y'all really got what I'm missing
The time with my parents
The birthdays and parties and Christmas
All of the memories I'm missing
All of the time that is wasted
It hurts me we wasted that time
I would do anything, ye,s I mean anything
Have you right here by my side
But I guess that it's life (yeah)
I know we got to move on
I love you to death and nothing can change
It's all on my dad and my mom
But really I'm sorry
I wish I could fix what's inside of me
But I'm doing the best that I can
And I only hope that y'all proud of me
I really hope that y'all proud of me
But I'm broke inside my soul
And I know I can't let go
But it's all I've ever known
Is watching people go
That's why my heart turned cold
