Lyrics
They say the world can be a tough place
Expressing the challenges in the world and suggesting a need for caution.
You better put me off instead
Preferring to be rejected than to face potential difficulties.
I know they are trying to convince you
Acknowledging attempts by others to persuade and explain.
Letting me go is for the best
Acceptance that letting go is the best course of action.
I hear you crying every night
Observing someone in emotional distress during the night.
What is so wrong I'm no mistake
Asserting one's worth and refuting any notion of being a mistake.
Never intended to be hurtful
Clarifying no intention to cause harm, seeking only love.
Just need your love and nothing else
Expressing a need for love without any additional expectations.
I know they say that this is your right
Acknowledging societal norms but urging consideration for personal consequences.
But mama, think about my life
Appealing to the mother to contemplate the impact on the speaker's life.
Am I not worthy of love ?
Raising the question of whether the speaker is deserving of love.
But mama can I get just one chance
Pleading for an opportunity, asking for a chance to live freely.
To live a life and breath the fresh air
Desiring a life with the freedom to enjoy fresh air.
Am I not worthy of love ?
Reiterating the question of worthiness for love.
They say will push me harder
Anticipating challenges and advising self-prioritization.
you better think about yourself
Encouraging consideration of personal well-being.
I know this choice ain't easy for you
Acknowledging the difficulty of the decision for the listener.
I was never part of your plans
Stating that the speaker was not part of the listener's original plans.
But I can promise you I'll be light
Promising to be a positive influence if given a chance to stay.
if you give me the chance to stay
Requesting an opportunity to prove oneself and bring light.
I know they're saying that its your right
Repeating the societal assertion but emphasizing the impact on the speaker's life.
But mama, think about my life
Reiterating the plea for the mother to consider the consequences.
Am I not worthy of love ?
Questioning the speaker's worthiness for love.
But mama can I get just one chance
Requesting a chance for life and the ability to breathe freely.
To live a life and breath the fresh air
Desiring a life with the freedom to enjoy fresh air once again.
Am I not worthy of love ?
Reiterating the question of worthiness for love.
