Song Description

Inspired by the old film "Mommy, Dearest"

Lyrics

Lying on that cot, you close your eyes
And drift to sleep.
As I recollect all the things that went wrong
This past year.
I visualize all the fond memories we shared together
Ones I'll never forget.
No matter how hard I try
They will stay with me.
As I watch the heart meter clock go up and down
Then go steady, the pulse dies,
With everything that mattered between
You and me.
I tried to keep it up, but it was
Overbearing
I needed help when I had none.

Chorus-
Why is it hard to say good-bye?
And yet I am stone
Finding it hard to cry
I guess I'll never know why
I feel I hate you.

Then you discovered drugs
And picked up alcohol
You hit me once or twice
And threw me against the wall.
I tried to keep it up, but it was
Overbearing
I needed help when I had none.

Chorus

Bridge-
Oh, Mommy, where have you gone to?
I know it was hard, but we could have made it through...
Where was that mother figure I needed long ago?
And now you're gone, and now you're gone, and now you're gone...
(Repeat)

Chorus
