I'm writing this song in english Because its content is very personal And I don't feel confident enough To say it in portuguese I wish I was closer to my mother I feel we have a lot in common But she has never been the mother type She has always been shy and reserved Just like I am I think I have never received enough motherly love Sometimes I wish my mother would hug me when I'm sad She is getting older and I'm worried about her I wish my mother would hug me when I am sad Sometimes when I come home at night I cry alone in my bed I'm afraid of being alone in the universe
