MOM 歌詞

I never knew how heavy love was Until it slept on my chest at night I watch him breathe and I feel the fear Every sound feels like a warning sign And suddenly I see you clearer Every version I ignored before All the times you stayed awake for me Lying on the bedroom floor Now I know why you never slept Why your eyes always looked so tired You gave pieces of yourself away And never once called it a sacrifice I didn't see it then But I do now, mom You carried worry like it was nothing Hid your tears where I couldn't find them You held me steady through every fall While your own world stayed unbalanced Every prayer you whispered quietly Every fear you swallowed whole You were breaking in places I never saw Just to make me feel safe at home Now I know why you never rested Why you stayed strong when you were worn You chose love over your own peace Every single night, every storm I didn't see it then But I do now, mom I'm sorry for the years I didn't notice you disappearing I'm sorry I thought you were invincible When you were just human and caring If I can love him half the way you loved me I think I'll finally understand What it means to give your whole life away Just to raise a man Now I hold my son in the dark And I feel everything you felt Every sleepless night, every tear Every piece of you, you never kept You loved me when I didn't deserve it You stayed when I didn't know why I didn't understand love then But I do now, mom If I become the man you hoped I'd be It's because you gave me everything
