Mother

Porter Robinson

I was born

In a sudden embrace, I'm awake

So I study the shape of your face

You take what you're given

"I only wanna do what's good for you"

Then at once

I'm checking the doors and my weight

I can't keep my hands from my face

I said, "Mom, I'm so sorry"

She smiled and said, "Darling

I don't want you to worry, 'cause

I'm on your side for the rest of your life

You'll never be alone, don't you worry, my child

And now there's an empty room you outgrew

But I'm here for you, ooh, ooh"

And I've known

The feeling you've had when you're held

The comfort of being unwell

So somеthing can cradle you

Oh, I don't need it

Oh, I won't grieve it

"I'm on your sidе for the rest of your life

You'll never be alone, don't you worry, my child

And now there's an empty room you outgrew

But I'm here for you, ooh, ooh"

I'll do right by you, you, you, you

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I only wanna do what's best for you

"I'm on your side for the rest of your life

You'll never be alone, don't you worry, my child

And though there's an empty room you outgrew

I'll wait for you, ooh, ooh"

"I'm on your side for the rest of your life

You'll never be alone, don't you worry, my child

And now there's an empty room you outgrew

But I'm here for you, ooh, ooh"
