lyrics

So why am I so lonely?
I've got all the friends I need
The solitude is only
Half what won't let me be

Another winter's cold is
Eating right through my bones
And I can't shake the oldest
Sadness I have ever known

Mama, all of the years are gone
Mama, and I've not moved on

I've taken my share of
The responsibility
Done more than you're aware of
To understand what's wrong with me

And you should know it's not your

Fault for the wrong that's been done
But know that it's a lot more
Than should be put on anyone

Mama, all of my childhood, gone
Mama, and I can't move on

A child is only shaped by
Who he knows and what he sees
A lesson that is early learned:
Be careful or he will repeat

The secret that was long kept
Haunts me like a ghost
But I can no longer hold inside
That which has hurt me most

Mama, mama, mama, all of the hours are gone
Mama, and I won't move on
