Tell Me and I'll Listen

Mama are you mad?

It's ok if you are, I am too, I am too

Don't shrink Mama, are you sad? Say whatever's on your mind

I'll listen to you

Tell me and I'll listen, tell me what I'm missing

What is it that's weighing you down?

Tell me and I'll listen, tell me what I'm missing

We can walk all night all over town

Tell me what you never say

Tell me how you weren't ok

Anything that feels that way, I want to know

I know you tried so hard to always be so good for everyone

Let's take a chance

You've been strong like an anchor

Holding on like a statue, I want you

To break free and dance

Tell me and I'll listen, tell me what I'm missing

What is it that's weighing you down?

Tell me and I'll listen, tell me what I'm missing

We can walk all night all over town

You can curse your Dad for drinking and living like a lock box

You can curse your Mom for leaving you to raise the kids

You can curse all your bosses with their endless demands

The leaving, the losses, the wandering hands

You can curse all your brothers for dying on you

Tell me what you never say

Tell me how you weren't ok

Anything that feels that way

I want to know

Tell what you never say

Tell me how you weren't ok

Anything that feels that way, I want to know

Tell me and I'll listen
