Lyrics
Verse
There’s tightness in his chest
Feels like the world's coming down
He tries to find the words
But he ain't making a sound
Mother said don’t worry son
It’ll all be alright
But there’s doubt in his mind
That keeps him up at night
He goes about his day
Living on the edge
Tries not to overthink
Everything ever said
Holds on a little too tight
To the bad he hears
But it’ll weigh you down
After all these years
Chorus
Mother I know I got so much life ahead
I go one step forward and two steps back
Would I be better off dead
Mother I know it’ll all be ok
Done some things I aint proud of
Try be better each day
Mother I know
Verse
It’ll take some time
But we raised him well
His lies break my heart
But he’s been through hell
He's doing all these things
I don’t recognize
But when he looks at me I see
The hurt in his eyes
Rock bottoms on its way
And I worry for him
But mothers love their sons
Through thick and thin
Chorus
Son I know you’ve got plenty of time left
I'll pick you up when you’re down
But I can't always do the rest
Son I know you aren't your usual self
There’s some demons you been fighting off
And you need a little help
Son I know
Bridge
Son I know your trying
I see it in your eyes
trying to hold on
I watch your knuckles turning white
The nights been growing darker
and you've been growing tired
Oh it's hard I know
Don't let go
Chorus
Mother I know I got so much life ahead
I go one step forward and two steps back
It ain’t beaten me down yet
Mother I know it’ll all be ok
Done some things I aint proud of
Try be better each day
Mother I know
