Coming of Age

I don’t know how to tell you the truth

Cause I don't wanna let you down

I make an easy thing harder to do

When I get up I can’t come down

I’m like a dog on a bone and I’m digging a hole

Wide enough to be buried alive

It’s not a coming of age, just to make the mistakes

I’ve been making for all of my life

I tried to just say what I mean

All choked up and caught at the seams

I’m unraveling, there it goes again

I don’t wanna lose all my control

In a cycle in a cage

Back and forth until it’s too late

I’m not trying to play a game

I don’t know how to test the water

Guess I'll always be my Mothers Daughter

(Mother's Daughter)

I thought that loving her would make me complete

and turn the mirror back around

Melt the hate that I held underneath

I swore i knew the way down

But I been holding it in

Like an original sin that burns that back of your throat

Like the bird in a cage that sings anyway

I guess that’s all that she knows

I tried to just say what i mean

All choked up and caught at the seams

I’m unraveling, there it goes again

I don’t wanna lose all my control

In a cycle in a cage

Back and forth until it’s too late

I’m not trying to play a game

I don’t know how to test the water

Guess I'll always be my Mothers Daughter

(Mother's Daughter)

Numbing the pain of being alive just

made it harder and harder to survive

I’m wearing my armor, like it’s an honor

I don’t wanna lose myself again

In a cycle in a cage

Back and forth until it’s too late

I’m not trying to play a game

I don’t know how to test the water

Guess I'll always be my Mothers Daughter

(Mother's Daughter)
