Darren Kiely - Mom & Dad Lyrics

Mom and dad
When you saw me
When you'd seen how far I fell
Did it hurt?
'Cause God knows it hurt me
To make the tears in your eyes dwell

They say pain is worse
When you're helpless
To someone you love's hell
And have you words
For those moments
Or is your silence how I tell
That you feel what I have felt

See how I've grown
From that strife
I'd play that role
A thousand times
Sing these notes
I've found my voice

But if you questioned, were you worthless
But each word you spoke held purpose
If you questioned were you worthless
Look at me

I held my breath
While you were breathing
Searching for new life
And in the dark
Those silent evenings
When I spoke, did you hear fight?

And I know you cried
You spoke in secret
You prayed with all your might

Without relent
You never weakened
You held me up each time
And I know that you felt worthless
But each word you spoke held purpose
If you questioned were you worthless
Look at me

Without you how, how
Without you how, how
(Without you how)
(Without you how)
(Without you how)

And I know that you felt worthless (every single word)
But each word you spoke held purpose (I know you felt it all)
If you questioned were you worthless
Look at me

Mom and dad
Now you see me
And the distance that I fell
