lyrics

Sitting in your homemade gown,
of rose petals, rose petals, sewn together
Betting on a brighter life with someone better,
someone better, than your mother, bet on

And all this time you waited without a passing statement


Oh Mother how can you not see
The hurt that he brought onto this
your delicate flower turned hard in the light of his needs
How can’t you see
How can’t you see
How can’t you see…


…the rose petals, rose petals thrown together
Not of the kind that you want to keep
Didn’t make up for the things you need
Couldn’t repair all the love you lost


And still, and still, you waited without a passing statement


Oh Mother how can you not see
The hurt that he brought onto this
your delicate power turned hard in the light of his needs
How can’t you see
How can’t you see the burden was his
You were just a child


Not of the kind that you want to keep
Didn’t make up for the things you need
Couldn’t repair all the love you lost

Oh Mother I cried
I cried for your silence in the face of the truth
You know you didn’t deserve the fool
I wish your Father was there for you
