I don't know how to tell you the truth
'Cause I don't wanna let you down
I make an easy thing harder to do
When I get up, I can't come down
I'm like a dog on a bone and I'm digging a hole
Wide enough to be buried alive
It's not a coming of age just to make the mistakes
I've been making for all of my life
I tried to just say what I mean
All choked up and caught at the seams
I'm unraveling, there it goes again
I don't wanna lose all my control
In a cycle, in a cage
Back and forth until it's too late
I'm not trying to play a game
I don't know how to test the water
I guess I'll always be my mother's daughter
(Mother's daughter)
I thought that loving her would make me complete
And turn the mirror back around
Melt the hate that I held underneath
I swore I knew the way down
But I been holding it in
Like an original sin that burns the back of your throat
Like the bird in a cage that sings anyway
I guess that's all that she knows
I tried to just say what I mean
All choked up and caught at the seams
I'm unraveling, there it goes again
I don't wanna lose all my control
In a cycle, in a cage
Back and forth until it's too late
I'm not trying to play a game
I don't know how to test the water
I guess I'll always be my mother's daughter
(Mother's daughter)
Numbing the pain of being alive just made it harder and harder to survive
I'm wearing my armor like it's an honor
I don't wanna lose myself again
In a cycle, in a cage
Back and forth until it's too late
I'm not trying to play a game
I don't know how to test the water
I guess I'll always be my mother's daughter
(Mother's daughter)
