Dear Mother
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
It's certainly not you letting father scream and yell
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
It's certainly not you insisting I will never be enough
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
It's unquestionably not you manipulating everyone around you
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
It's without a doubt not you always putting me second to yourself
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
Love is Mrs. Yarbrough always lending an ear
Love is my brothers always holding me when I'm distraught
Dear Mother
Do you know what love is?
