I had a picture on my childhood bedroom wall
Of a woman and her son and her dog, she had it all
I always hoped that I would end up like her
But who I am now is nothing like her
No one should have a mother like me
Will I learn to accept I can’t have what I’ve always wanted?
Or will I be glad I got what I thought I didn’t deserve?
I can’t take the risk
Of giving them more than just my eyes
Subjected to a life of self-hatred
I’d feel guilty singing lullabies
Though I’m trying not to change my mind
No one gets hurt if I fantasise
I’m placing milk teeth under a pillow at night
I never wanted things to end up in this way
Told one too many lies and hurt the people I love most
I couldn’t find my way out of that hell
And I only blamed myself
Could I learn to love me in someone else?
I can’t take the risk
Of giving them more than just my eyes
Subjected to a life of self-hatred
I’d feel guilty singing lullabies
Though I’m trying not to change my mind
No one gets hurt if I fantasise
That I’m placing milk teeth under a pillow at night
I can’t take the risk
I can’t be that selfish
I can’t take the risk
I can’t choose to hardwire that inside them
Though I’m trying not to change my mind
[Oooh
No one gets hurt if I fantasise
That I’m placing milk teeth under a pillow at night
