"Mother" lyrics

"Mother"

I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum

I am not your mother and nor should you want me to be
Falling asleep on my chest is your fantasy
But where does that leave me?
Who's holding me?

I am not your therapist, you don't pay me enough for this
Work on your own shit
Yeah, cos, it's your shit
And get back to me
And we can see

I am not your cleaner, your tailor, wide-eyed believer
My memory is clear to me
Cos guess what? Yeah, I was listening
Guess what? Yeah, I was listening

Listening

I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum

I don't need perfection, I just need reflection and a sense of knowing
You're growing
Are you interested in growing?
There is other literature outside of The Catcher In The Rye
And the mind is a knife if you try
Hard enough
Are you gonna try hard?

Listening

I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mum

I don't need solutions
I just want to be heard
I don't need solutions
I just want to be heard

I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
I am not your mother, I'm not your mother, I am not your mum
