Mother is the light in your eyes ever gonna shine again ever gonna shine
We fear that the man from above went and took everything that you loved
Mother are we enough to keep you alive Will you try will you try
Mother is the light in your eyes ever gonna shine again ever gonna shine
Mother is the fire in your soul ever gonna burn again ever gonna burn
we fear the Hurt has left you cold
Are we ever gonna make you whole
Mother is the fire in your soul ever gonna burn again ever gonna burn
Mother is the love in your heart ever gonna pour again ever gonna pour
We fear that the tears have run you dry
Oh we wanna shake you till wake you from the dreams that make you cry
Mother is the love in your heart ever gonna pour again ever gonna pour.
Ive got my hands in my pockets, waiting for the man to turn green
Headphones up way to loud so I can’t hear them scream
These city streets are always cold and grey and mean
And I’m searching for the answer to everything in a coffee shop just down the street
Why tell me why do I even try..?
Try oh try to cross a line that ain’t in sight…
Time ain’t on my side, he just told me that I might
Might have missed my chance..
To shine
Got my red flares on and my favourite fashion magazine
Hoping when I walk by some strangers in the street might notice me
Well doesn’t everybody here just want a chance to be seen
For more than what they think they’re worth to escape this harsh reality
So tell me Why tell me why do I even try..?
Try oh try to cross a line that ain’t in sight…
Time ain’t on my side, he just told me that I might
Might have missed my chance..
I know that time is unkind in the end it defines us ohoh
Tell me I’m not wasting time tell me that I will be fine tell me I’m not wasting time time time
So tell me Why tell me why do I even try..?
Try oh try to cross a line that ain’t in sight…
Time ain’t on my side, he just told me that I might
Might have missed my chance..
To shine.
