Mother, why don't you hear me

Won't you put that down and love me again

Mother why don't you see now

All that I did wrong I'm not trying to end



Can't you feel the desperation

That lies behind these sorry eyes

It's gone too far for me to escpae this wrong

I'm so ashamed



I don't need it, mother don't you know

I could leave it, mother don't let go

I still feel it, mother won't you stay

I don't need to tell you I was wrong

Now I'm back to where I belong

So tonight don't let me go



So I got lost in an immoral game

Destroyed my life, just threw it away

Now I ask you help me with my mind

Oh, won't you come help me win this time

We could fight this desperation

That's slowly turning me off life

No more livin' lost, alone and afraid

No more this grey disguise



I don't need it, mother don't you know

I could leave it, mother don't let go

I still feel it, mother won't you stay

I don't need to tell you I was wrong

Now I'm back to where I belong

So tonight don't let me go
