Chelcee Grimes — Mother — lyrics
{verse 1}
When i was five my daddy died, it was a pretty hard time
Just the two of us, we were on our own, tryna get by
Didn’t have much money in the bank, but she did the best you can
Bad relationships, worked for tips, alcohol never left her lips
{pre-chorus}
Remember the first time i heard her cry
She was downstairs with that other guy
Another new bruise and another lie
{chorus}
But that’s my mother
And there’s been times when we had nothing but each other
But she never gave up hope
Still be smiling when it hurt the most
Singing songs ’til my eyes are close
God i love her
What a woman
Yeah, that’s my mother
(my mother)
Yeah, that’s my mother
(my mother)
{verse 2}
I wonder if that’s why, i hardly cry and pretend that i’m tough
I run away sometimes, i’m scared to love, and don’t do any drugs
No matter how hard i try
Whenever i close my eyes, i still hear you shout way too loud
Slamming doors ’cause we’re moving out an’ it…
{pre-chorus}
Wasn’t the first time i heard her cry
Too in love couldn’t say goodbye
She kissed me goodnight with tears in her eyes
{chorus}
But that’s my mother
And there’s been times when we had nothing but each other (each other)
But she never gave up hope
Still be smiling when it hurt the most
Singing songs ’til my eyes are close
God i love her
What a woman
That’s my mother
{bridge}
And now you’re happier
I’m so proud of ya
I see you moving on
You made it through the storm
Pray you never get hurt
Get the love that you deserve
Here’s to the lessons that we learned
{chorus}
And when i’m a mother
One day i’ll be smiling at my daughter
The same freckles on her face
I’ll tell her stories about the way
You made me the woman i am today
And how i love ya
God i love her
That’s my mother
{outro}
(my mother)
That’s my mother
(my mother)
Yeah, that’s my mother, my mother, my mother
God i love ya
What a woman
That’s my mother
