Lyrics
Dear mom,
Addressing the speaker's mother.
My heart is surely crying.
Expressing deep emotional pain.
Beyond what I first agreed,
Going beyond initial expectations or agreements.
Beyond the sight of me
Out of the speaker's immediate perception or understanding.
Her pain always comes down between
Referring to someone's pain causing a division between the speaker and their mother.
You and i. dead right.
There's an understanding of being unquestionably correct, possibly at the cost of something.
Torn between you and i. dead right.
Reiterating the conflict between the speaker and their mother due to being right, leading to a divide.
And if I told you why, because its
Implying a reason exists but isn't explicitly stated.
Branded on
Something deeply impactful or significant, possibly emotionally.
Our hearts.
Shared emotional connection or experience between the speaker and their mother.
The constant cycle of failing the ones
The recurring pattern of disappointing or letting down loved ones.
That we love.
Expressing the pain of failing those who are loved.
You can't stop the sorrows of wishing
The inability to stop wishing for a better situation or outcome.
The well wasn't dry.
Wishing for a change in circumstances, symbolized by a dry well.
They dance the dance only jesters have.

Nothing in this life has changed so much
Stating that despite changes, some fundamental aspects remain unchanged.
That I can't even speak out the truth.
Feeling unable to express the truth due to the intensity of the situation.
Can't even speak without you.
The difficulty in speaking without involving the mother or addressing the situation.
I can't even speak without the truth.
