Oh mother Where do I start How do I mend myself Without breaking your heart A thousand songs I've written For everyone else The one that belongs to you Collects dust on the shelf Cuz we're complicated, we're up and we're down We're right and we're wrong, we let the bottom fall out When we're blind with emotion, when words turn to shouts We keep making it hard to wanna stick around But I keep showin' up Cuz you and I We're still growing up And ooh we try I'm not running anymore, yea I'll keep knocking on your door Maybe that's enough Keep showin' up, keep showin' up Mmm... Born as a daughter Into a wife Into a mother That's been your life I've always been restless I got that from you So when I'm hard on myself I know I'm hard on you too But I keep showin' up Cuz you and I We're still growing up And ooh we try I'm not running anymore, yea I'll keep knocking on your door Maybe that's enough Keep showin' up, keep showin' up I'm strong enough now, to tell you I love you And still call you out I'm strong enough now, to tell you I love you And still call you out Mmm... Keep showin' up Keep showin' up Oh mother We're gonna be alright We don't need to heal this whole thing overnight
