Lyrics

Mama Proud

When
You lose
A part
Of your heart
Does it make room?
For something new
Does it scar?
And where does it run off to?
A part of your heart, apart from you

Was my cup so full I thought
It was empty? Oh my God
Had a dream about going blind
See me selfish, see me unkind
I have made a big decision
It won't make my mama proud
Be assured I am not running but
Even still I can let her down
I can let her down

I'd like to avoid seeing a picture of your hand
'Cause in a picture of your hand I see my old home
Do you believe in God, fate, luck or chance?
Or are we not supposed to know?
It's a dance
It's a dance
It's a dance
It's a dance

Was my cup so full I thought
It was empty? Oh my God
Had a dream about going blind
See me selfish, see me unkind
I have made a big decision
It won't make my mama proud
Be assured I am not running but
Even still I can let her down
I can let her down
I can let her down
