When I couldn't leave the house, every day felt like Boeing 747s falling out the sky I said: I'm alright, thought I hid it well But you knew I was going through hell Growing up you'd never leave me too long alone Be the one to hold my hand when I cross the road Now I'm crossing off mistakes that I've gone and made A mother knows the daughter she raised Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down You'd say: Darling, go ahead and make me proud, but Every guy that I ever dated Every bad friend you said you hated I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best But you were like the voice in my head Yeah, right there Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side Guess all I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right Even when I was gone, I wasn't far away Nothing that you coulda done would have made me stay I was only tryna grow, follow my own heart I guess I wasn't really that smart Singing on the school runs with the rooftop down You'd say: Darling, go ahead and make me proud, but Every guy that I ever dated Every bad friend you said you hated I ignored your advice, thought that I knew best But you were like the noise in my head Yeah, right there Like a beautiful thorn stuck in my side Guess all I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right Guess all I'm tryna say is Mamma, you were right
