Mother's Eyes

Sweet talking my way thru another funny day I’m not here in the first place I’ve been replaced Haven’t quite met this new self of mine Tell me it’ll all be fine Tell me I don’t need to say the lines I’m fine getting stoned alone With all of this time Maybe I’ll finally be mine Dressing myself for the day Like I’m on my way to the grand parade I catch my eye in the mirror And smile back at myself Opened up some boxes that are filled With pieces of me All of those years trying to squeeze Into boxes that didn’t fit all of me I realise what it all means When I’m looking into mother's eyes I’m looking into mother’s eyes Cause I’m sitting in the corner of my mind I don’t mean to sit here so much of the time Tears rolling I’m shaking but I’m fine I’ll be running into you all the time I want you but I don’t want you to be mine I want you but I don’t want you to be mine Feels like the paradox of my life Feels like I’ll get there one step at a time We’ve been balancing on the finest line Loving you’s the cure and the crime Loving you’s the cure and the crime The words are there they’re knocking at our teeth I’m feeling bare and hot head to feet I’ve got nowhere to go and no one to meet I see it now I see my heart beat I see it now I see what I need To be sitting in the corner of my mind To be sitting in the corner of my mind Sitting in the corner of my mind Sitting in the corner of my mind Sitting in the corner of my mind Sitting in the corner of my mind Sitting in the corner of my mind
