Dear mother of mine
Was I ever worth your time?
My fragile heart yearns for your unconditional love
A feeling that I'm deprived of
I was foolish to believe your white lies
No longer am I a little boy
With wool over his eyes
To your pain I'm already numb
The sad thing is
The heartache is never done
They say time heals everything
But I don't believe that's true
Because it never brought back you
Never will I forget the past
But I will step out from the shadow you cast
A Mother Leaving Her Son
The Shadow You Cast
