A song for mother

Naomi

I know I said I didn't care, I didn't mean it.
I know I said it wasn't fair, I realise now, life isn't.
But what you said, I only want to know, did you mean it?
We're falling apart, tearing away from each other.
I don't know what I'd do if you went forever.
I don't know how I'd survive, if you were to die.

Is it true that you think I don't love you?
Could it be that I'm just so worried?
I just can't stop dreaming of the future,
And a future without a mother.
I don't know what I'd do if I lost you.
I think I might just fall apart,
My life depends on you, not any other,
So please don't go, my mother.

How can you sleep when you are crying?
I try to hide my face but I can't.
Don't you understand what you're doing to me?
And to the rest of my family.
How do you know what you're doing is right?
Am I always so wrong?
Did you know that what you wanted was this?
Or are you just as worried as me?

I don't know how I'd live if you left me.
I don't think I could live here anymore.
I would leave this place forever.
I couldn't have you in my mind.
Because I love you more than any other.
I don't know what I'd do without a mother.
You help me through my life and I'm grateful,
So please don't throw away your life.

If you think you are doing the right thing,
Think again.
If you say you still love me, I'm happy.
But please try to see it through my eyes,
The thought of you dying is killing me.
So please don't go, don't go, don't leave me.
I don't know what I'd do if you did.
I love you more than any other.
I love you, I love you, Mother.
