23

Didn't have no one, sacrificed your goals
Didn't trust yourself, don't need to lie
I know you can survive
But it feels like sometimes you need to cry
Oh, mama, why?

The little stars and the locked up dreams
The missing pieces, they're in me
I know that you're strong
But you must stop fighting
And live your song in harmony
Buried secrets deep, now they overflow
Crystal clear to me, God, let it be
Pass the burden on
Sweep the troubled life
Drink the hurt away
I know the pain

'Cause you nearly broke me down, mama
I was hurt for a while
Hurt for a while, I was hurting inside
Ain't no time to cry
I'll fix what's broken and live my life authentically
It's not far away
The road to peace happens when I pray
I'm not asleep
There's bigger dreams that didn't fit for you
But will fit for me
Do you believe?
Mama, please, stop acting 23
You've got responsibilities
Are you still stuck in your teens?

You nearly broke me down, mama
Oh, mama, oh, mama
You nearly
You nearly broke me down, mama
Oh, mama
Oh, mama why
The little stars and the locked up dreams
The missing pieces, they're in me
Oh, mama why
The little stars and the locked up dreams
The missing pieces, they're in me
