lyrics

I’m leaving you for mama I whispered through my tears
I’ve spent a lot of time wasted many years
But it won’t be my whole life finally I see
All the things her eyes have been telling me


They say don’t do what I have done.
And they say don’t lose what I have won.
No one told all these truths to me.
So I’m leaving you for mama and the life she couldn’t leave.


I’m leaving you for mama so she can watch you go
Get that longed for vision from all those years ago
You say I won’t do better and they told her the same
But he took all the life from her the day she took his name.


And she says don’t do what I have done.
And she says don’t lose what I have won.
No one told all these truths to me.
So I’m leaving you for mama and the life she couldn’t leave.


I cannot undo the past or the lives that have been broken.
But I can offer her some peace in the path that I have chosen.


I’m leaving you for mama and all the pain she’s known.
The years of lies and neglect when she’s felt all alone.
A life of hurt and anger she doesn’t want for me.
So I’m leaving you for mama and the life she couldn’t leave
So I’m leaving you for mama- and the life she didn’t lead.
