How many times have I fallen before you

How much longer can I go on

To raise to my feet, to try this game again

I often point fingers of blame



If only my mother knew the real me

Her heart would break, for I am shame

Not the strong man she raised from birth

A coward, a child, and a scared soul



In my dreams, I can fly away

And look back through tears of pain

Even if I were to never awake

I would still have my downtime



If only my mother knew the real me

Her heart would break, for I am shame

Not the strong man she raised from birth

A coward, a child, and a scared soul



A sweet embrace from honest love

Just won't be enough this time

If I had the cure, to save myself

I would then know how you feel



If only my mother knew the real me

Her heart would break, for I am shame

Not the strong man she raised from birth

A coward, a child, and a scared soul
