Lyrics

You'll end up crying

You will eventually experience sorrow or distress.

With your mother's eyes

With the perspective or gaze reminiscent of your mother.

Pretend you can't see yourself

Pretend as if you cannot recognize your own true self.

Could have been better

There was potential for improvement in your situation.

Could have been worse

There was also the possibility of a more unfavorable outcome.

You could have been yourself

You had the opportunity to be genuine and true to yourself.

Brought up in mom's arms

Raised in the comforting embrace of your mother.

Nowhere to fall

Currently, there is no apparent place to stumble or fail.

Now you're out climbing

Now you are actively pursuing success or achievements.

Taking it all

Taking on all challenges or opportunities.


You'll end up crying

You will find yourself in a state of tears or sorrow.

With your mother's eyes

Similar to the eyes of your mother, reflecting a maternal influence.

Suffer that moment's pain

Enduring a painful moment.

Could have done better

There was a chance for a better outcome in the past.

Could have done worse

There was also a possibility of a more regrettable outcome.

Lost in your love for more

Feeling lost in the pursuit of love or desires.


Now you're out climbing

Currently engaged in the act of striving or reaching for goals.

And you should know

And you should be aware.

You'll end up crying

You will find yourself in tears, regardless of your destination.

Wherever you may go

Implying that the outcome is inevitable.

Brought up in mom's arms

Raised and nurtured in the care of your mother.

Nowhere to fall

Currently facing a situation without an apparent risk of failure.

Now you're out climbing

Now actively pursuing goals, possibly at the risk of failure.

Climbing to fall

Climbing towards success but with the potential for a fall.


You'll end up crying

You will experience emotional distress, akin to your mother's emotional experience.

With your mother's eyes

With a perspective or emotional response similar to your mother's.

Something is lost from the start

Indicating that something valuable or significant is lost from the beginning.

Could have been better

There was potential for improvement in the initial stages.

Could have been worse

There was also a possibility of a more unfavorable outcome initially.

You're going to need me there.

Forecasting the need for support or companionship in the future.
