Mother, why don't you hear me
Won't you put that down and love me again
Mother why don't you see now
All that I did wrong I'm not trying to end

Can't you feel the desperation
That lies behind these sorry eyes
It's gone too far for me to escpae this wrong
I'm so ashamed

I don't need it, mother don't you know
I could leave it, mother don't let go
I still feel it, mother won't you stay
I don't need to tell you I was wrong
Now I'm back to where I belong
So tonight don't let me go

So I got lost in an immoral game
Destroyed my life, just threw it away
Now I ask you help me with my mind
Oh, won't you come help me win this time
We could fight this desperation
That's slowly turning me off life
No more livin' lost, alone and afraid
No more this grey disguise

I don't need it, mother don't you know
I could leave it, mother don't let go
I still feel it, mother won't you stay
I don't need to tell you I was wrong
Now I'm back to where I belong
So tonight don't let me
