Mama, can you sing me a paradise?
I know it’s been a while and I’m bigger now but it’s the only thing that will suffice
I wish that you made songs, so I could play them on demand
And feel the comfort of your voice in my ears when I need it, god knows that I’m barely a man
Tuck me away, rub my back and sing me that sweet melody that helped me fall asleep
Segments of my childhood are blurry, moments spent with you engraved into my brain so I don’t need to worry ‘bout
Rememberin’ not to forget again
I’m settling with the fact that you ain’t here, I’m not content that I know what I’m doing, not too hard for me to sin
I lock the doors to my heart, you said “don’t let the devil in”
I’m a mama’s boy, got a problem with it? let me know
I’m a dollar boy, taught me how to get the green and go
I’m a trauma boy, who I am today, you’ll never know
Once or twice a year just ain’t enough I use my phone when I don’t need it, yet I’m the only one picking up
All I get is incoming, I’m never going out, I’m reaching for the wrong stars ‘cause I don’t ever reach out
(that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, me, me)
(that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, that’s on me, me, me)
Tough times gotta call for tougher people
If this life thing was our movie, we would need more than a sequel
We held death at a stare, who knew eyes could be so lethal?
(his persona waiting for the right time to be peaceful, woah)
Yeah we fell for it, fell hard and fell face first
I would do it all again for you, don’t care if my face hurts
I would build it all again for you, don’t care if I break first
I would take all your pain as my own, that’s what your love is worth
(what your love is worth)
