A Mother's Heartache: Love Beyond Measure
Lyrics
I called a friend at the end of the day
I reached out to a friend at the end of the day
Couldn't wait to talk about something other than you
Anticipation to discuss topics unrelated to you
It turns out I don't have so much to say
Realization that I don't have much else to talk about
'Cuz I found myself talkin' 'bout you
Despite efforts, found myself discussing you
I worked so hard to get you off my mind
Struggled to remove thoughts of you from my mind
Rocked you, laid you down to bed
Tenderly cared for you, put you to bed
Here I am for the millionth time
Repeatedly, I find myself in this situation
Thoughts of you, running through my head
Constant thoughts of you occupy my mind
Holding you feels like water
Your presence is as essential as water
Running through my hands, yes, it's true
Despite efforts, you slip away like water through my hands
Who am I? I'm your mother
Identity is defined as your mother
And I live and breathe talkin' 'bout you
Existence revolves around discussing you
Sometimes I wish I could close my heart
Occasionally desire to shield my emotions
Stitch it up where you burst right on through
Wish to mend the emotional wounds caused by you
It hurts too much to know I'm one in a million
Painful realization of being just one among many
Mothers talkin' 'bout you
Moms sharing stories and experiences about you
Holding you feels like water
Your touch is as elusive as water
Running through my hands, yes, it's true
Efforts to hold onto you are in vain
Who am I? I'm your mother
Self-identification as your mother
And I live and breathe talkin' 'bout you
Existence revolves around discussing you
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Repetition of emotional expression through vocalization
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Continuation of emotional expression
Holding you feels like water
Similar to line 17, emphasizing the elusive nature of your presence
Running through my hands, yes, it's true
Continued struggle to grasp and hold onto you
Who am I? I'm your mother
Reiteration of self-identity as your mother
And I live and breathe talkin' 'bout you
Existence continues to revolve around discussing you
Who am I? I'm your mother
Reiteration of identity as your mother
Here I am, here I am talkin' 'bout you
Confirmation of being present and actively discussing you
