[Guitar Intro - High energy, 138 BPM, screaming lead guitar] [Verse 1 - Mid-tempo power rock, gravely vocals] Each night before we went to bed We lived on every word she said She told us how the world should be Hoping one day she’d live to see [Guitar Hit] [Verse 2] The Lord lived in our little place Put smiles on every single face But the voices that we loved to hear Were soon replaced by cold and fear [Pre-Chorus - Music swelling, building tension] So, we fell down on our knees to pray To find the words she used to say... [Chorus - Full Arena Power, explosive payoff] I don't know... how to say what I need to say I don't know... if she’s ever coming back my way I don't know... when enough is finally enough And I don't know... how to be this tough I just don't know [Guitar Solo - Gritty, melodic rock solo] [Verse 3 - THE BREATHER. Clean guitar, no drums, hollow and quiet] We sat on the porch 'til the sun went down Listening for a tires-on-gravel sound Checking the driveway, checking the street With nothing but the cold beneath our feet [Pre-Chorus 2 - Building back up, heartbeat kick drum] Just kids in a house that felt too wide With nowhere left for us to hide. [Chorus - Full Arena Power] I don't know... how to say what I need to say I don't know... if she’s ever coming back my way I don't know... when enough is finally enough And I don't know... how to be this tough I just don't know [Verse 4 - Laid back, clean electric, gentle build] Now the years roll on, the days are long I hear mama's voice in every song Grinding for every inch we take Building it right for mama’s sake [Bridge - Peak Intensity, soaring vocals, full band grind] But when times get hard and you feel alone You find the strength that’s carved in stone! [Chorus - Maximum Finale] I don't know... how to say what I need to say I don't know... if she’s ever coming back my way I don't know... when enough is finally enough And I don't know... how to be this tough I just don't know [Outro - Emotional Fade, ringing guitar] I don't know, I don't know Mama, I just don't know
