I grew up on my own No apron, no goodbye Just a cold open room And a name I never find You ask where I come from I point to the floor There’s a hole in the house That keeps asking for more Tell me who holds me now Tell me who held me then I learned to walk real hard With the ache under my skin Motherless, motherless I keep moving, I keep moving Motherless, motherless Still I’m standing, still I’m singing (na-na-na) Motherless, motherless This is the shape I’m living No hand on my hair No voice at the door Just a bowl in the sink And a chair by the wall I made my own prayers With my teeth set tight If love left early I stayed through the night [Pre-Chorus] Tell me who holds me now Tell me who held me then I learned to walk real hard With the ache under my skin Motherless, motherless I keep moving, I keep moving Motherless, motherless Still I’m standing, still I’m singing (na-na-na) Motherless, motherless This is the shape I’m living If I sound broken It’s because I was Built from the missing And the dust But I still rise With my own two feet I turn that empty Into a beat Motherless, motherless I keep moving, I keep moving Motherless, motherless Still I’m standing, still I’m singing (na-na-na) Motherless, motherless This is the shape I’m living
