Mama Lyrics by Kassi Valazza

Dear Dead Days

0

[Verse 1]
I feel my neck a-burnin' from your rapid heavy breathing
And with the soul-bindin' glance our eyes would dance
And I held him uncomfortably tight
With the pale moon in his eyes
Dear mother why'd you teach me not to cry?

[Verse 2]
I learned a lot from singing and I learned a lot from being
A child who often held her head too high
And I keep it inside where my tendencies lie
I wished it away all the while
Dear mother why'd you teach me not to cry?

[Chorus]
Mama never taught me how to cry
Still I'm here takin' notes all the time
Sure got a lotta questions on my mind
Mama never taught me how to cry

[Verse 3]
I took some time a-walkin' 'neath the yellow bird found squawkin'
Her cries they echoed bright and shook me through
AndI fell to my knees and my shoulder you squeezed
And I felt the jealousy rise
Dear mother why'd you teach me not to cry?

[Chorus]
Mama never taught me how to cry
Still I'm here takin' notes all the time
Sure got a lotta questions on my mind
Mama never taught me how to cry

[Verse 4]
My brother swung last winter 'neath the tree that gave me splinters
On my hands and on my arms and on my feet
And I tried to decide where my feelings should lie
With bloodied hands I swept it aside
Dear mother why'd you teach me not to cry?

[Chorus]
Mama never taught me how to cry
Still I'm here takin' notes all the time
Sure got a lotta questions on my mind
Mama never taught me how to cry
