Mother Always Knows Lyrics by Elena Erin

2022

Verse 1:
Why'd you raise a girl who plays with fire
And speaks her mind?
All the other kids come crying every time
Verse 2:
Why'd you raise me to love so hard
When you know I have a baby heart?
All the guys I love, they leave, and I say it's fine
Verse 3:
And at 16 years I made it clear
That we were not alike
But now I'm 26 and it hits
A little different with time
Chorus:
There's a struggle feeling lately
You call
"My love are you staying alive?"
"My love are you staying alive?"
If I told you would you hate me?
Don't cry
"My love are you staying alive?"
"My love are you staying alive?"
Verse 4:
Why'd you raise me to change the world
When the whole thing hurts to touch?
I don't know how I'm supposed to help
Verse 5:
And your entire life you lived a lie
Till the whole thing was too much
Then you saved the world by just saving yourself
You said I'll save the world
If I can just save myself
Chorus
So I call you from the city
"Hey mom"
"My love are you staying alive?"
"My love are you staying alive?"
"I don't know, sometimes it hits me so hard
Like why am I staying alive?
It hurts just to try and survive"
Bridge:
Dad said that I was always like you
I said that he's a blind dude
I fight like how you taught me
And I fight you
Dad said that I was always like you
Well haven't I surprised you?
Mama does it all remind you?
Cause every time I find you
I see myself in ways I never try to
You say I'm gonna be a big star
But I hope I'm just like you
Chorus:
Yeah you know I'm still your baby
Hey mom
"My love are you staying alive?"
"My love are you staying alive?"
If I told you would you save me?
"No hun"
"My love are you staying alive?
I promise you're gonna be fine"
Outro:
I promise you're gonna be
I promise you're gonna be fine
My love are you staying alive
I promise you're gonna be fine
I promise you're gonna be
I promise you're gonna be fine
I promise you're gonna be
