When I couldn’t leave the house
Every day felt like
Boeing 747s falling out the sky
I said I’m alright, thought I hid it well
But you knew I was going through hell
Growing up you’d never leave me too long alone
Be the one to hold my hand when I cross the road
Now I’m crossing off mistakes that I’ve gone and made
A mother knows the daughter she raised
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
You’d say darling go ahead and make me proud but…
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice thought that I knew best
But you were like the voice in my head
Yeah, right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess all I’m tryna say is
Mamma you were right
Even when I was gone I wasn’t far away
Nothing that you could have done would have made me stay
I was only tryna grow follow my own heart
I guess I wasn’t really that smart
Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down
You’d say darling go ahead and make me proud but…
Every guy that I ever dated
Every bad friend you said you hated
I ignored your advice thought that I knew best
But you were like the noise in my head
Yeah, right there
Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side
Guess all I’m tryna say is
Mamma you were right
Guess all I’m tryna say is
Mamma you were right
