You gave life, but that wasn't good enough for you
How could you be so cruel?
You had it all, an heir to the throne
How could you be so cruel?
Mother, you deserve so much better
And it hurts me to see you cry
Mother, don't you shed a tear
Hold your head up high
Too much pride to admit you're wrong
Too stubborn to take the blame
You lied before, you'll lie again
The kid can't sleep 'cause of you
The mother can't sleep 'cause of you
Old habits die hard, you'll never change
Mother, you deserve so much better
And it hurts me to see you cry
Mother, don't you shed a tear
Hold your head up high
You got what you wanted
'Cause it's what you deserve
Don't you break the mother
'Cause you can't and you won't
'Cause you can't and you won't
'Cause you can't break mother, she'll break you down
Mother, you deserve so much better
And it hurts me to see you cry
Mother, don't you shed a tear
Hold your head up high
Mother, you deserve so much better
And it hurts me to see you cry
Mother, don't you shed a tear
Hold your head up high
