Mum
I wanna go, but I just can’t leave
I wanna talk, but I even can’t breathe
Why is my life so difficult and hard?
And why is it that my mum tries to tear it all apart?
She hits me, she snaps
And if I’m in trouble she always wears ear- and eye caps
She asks me why I’m still not dead
An answer? I wish I had
My mother is in big trouble and that’s why I’m still alive
When she hits me I try to dive
Away, away from her and everybody else around me
But I want her something to see
Mum, please, say how you truly feel inside
Mum, please, don’t take a ride
A ride to a world you can’t reach, a world that’s only there in your head
Mum, please see, that’s why I’m still not dead
You’re the only reason why
I still don’t want to die
But you’re also the reason I don’t wanna be here anymore
The world is a room and when there’s a way to leave, you close that door
You’re always there to bring me down and to make me feel bad
A decision to make, I wish I had
But I can’t stand on my own, you say to me
Why won’t you let me free?
You’ve lost your husband two years ago
The one you loved and hated and that’s hard, I know
But you’ve got to try to get him out of your mind
I know you can do that, you’re very kind
Mum, please, say how you truly feel inside
Mum, please, don’t take a ride
A ride to a world you can’t reach, a world that’s only there in your head
Mum, please see, that’s why I’m still not dead
You must search for aid, you really have to
And although it’s hard to do
You must get better before you end your life
Please mother, stop searching for that knife
That knife can’t help you, only you can
You must get over that man
I want to help you, but just talk to me and say what you truly think and want
When you don’t, I can’t
Mum, please, say how you truly feel inside
Mum, please, don’t take a ride
A ride to a world you can’t reach, a world that’s only there in your head
Mum, please see, that’s why I’m still not dead
Give me just one chance and you’ll see
Why you long ago believed in me
That’s because I truly want to help you
And if you know me really well you know that what I say is true
Remember those times we sat on your bed
When he just had gone mad
I tried to comfort you and made you laugh then
And if I could I’d do it again
Please see that you need aid
You have to get it now, don’t wait
If you keep hurting me you keep hurting yourself and that’s no good
I just hoped you understood
Mum, please, say how you truly feel inside
Mum, please, don’t take a ride
A ride to a world you can’t reach, a world that’s only there in your head
Mum, please see, that’s why I’m still not dead
I love you mum, and I know you love me too
That’s why I’m still here with you
I’ll always believe in you, but please stop hurting me
I hope now you finally see
Why you have to say how you truly feel inside
Why you mustn’t take a ride
A ride to world you can’t reach, a world that’s only there in your head
Mum, please see, that’s why I’m still not dead
That’s why I’m still not dead…
