I lost you as a child
They took you far away so I took it hard
Every once and every while
I try to draw your face but it's missin' parts
Ooh I still taste a little
The blood that comes from spite when ya bite down hard
And when it's all a riddle
I piece it back together when I'm in the dark
I run, I run, I run and
Momma, how I long to hold your hand
Momma, how I want you to understand
Why I would run when you'd ask me to stay
Tell me that the world was imagined this way
I grew up in a hurry
You said I'm filled with light and an endless love
But really I'm just angry
I spend my life just trying not to prove you wrong
I run, I run, I run and
Momma, how I long to hold your hand
Momma, how I want you to understand
Why I would run when you'd ask me to stay
Tell me that the world was imagined this way
Momma, how I long to
Momma, how I want to
Momma, would you ask me now to stay
