Lyrics

Tell My Mama

I been thinking that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to
(Ooh)
I been hiding pain, it's underneath
And I been up so long I'm scared to sleep
And if something weird's happening to me
Could someone please
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
And everybody says that I've been manic
I think they might be right, but I still manage
Lately, I been so annoyed
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid
(Ooh)
I been hiding pain, it's underneath
And I been up so long I'm scared to sleep
And if something weird's happening to me
Could someone please
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
I been thinking that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
Be like this
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain
Sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
