Sweetest, fondest, magic memories
I hung on every word you said
A life extraordinarily insane
I took the stories to my head

Bitter sweet the lies of motherhood
Easily the young believe
A fairy tale you think you give me
Can't you see the truth I now perceive

Chorus:
Oh mother, mother, mother dear
To explain the way I feel when you are near
Your presence is driving me insane
Oh why, oh why, oh all this pain
The way I feel I must explain
You call you mother ... but it's just a name

Why do you always run away from life
What is it that haunts you so deeply
Children look at mother with loving eyes
But this child has to look upon you sadly

Don't get me wrong, love I have in my heart
Endless love are mothers due
But mother means to protect from all harm
Yet pain and lies are all I get from you

Chorus

I close my eyes, holding out my bleeding hear to you
Just look at all the pain and misery you've put me through
How long 'til I understand what happens in your mind
Tell me the truth and we can leave all the pains and lies behind

Mother, mother, that's your name
