[Verse 1] Cold coffee on the counter Crayons on the floor again Two small sweaters by the front door Still tagged with yesterdayās rain Theyāre laughing in the hallway Iām yelling from a tired place Their shoes are on the wrong feet My tears are on my face [Chorus] I didnāt know it would feel like this Every hour Hit or miss I am their shelter Their softest pillow But Iām cracking under every shadow Heās gone chasing someoneās tomorrow Iām here holding all this sorrow I am their mother And Iām scared Iām getting it wrong [Verse 2] The babyās in my bedroom Dreams tangled in her hair The oldest asks āIs Daddy coming?ā I freeze inside that air I say āHe loves you Babyā And watch it hit his chest Then read the same old bedtime story While guilt wonāt let me rest [Chorus] I didnāt know it would feel like this Every hour Hit or miss I am their shelter Their softest pillow But Iām cracking under every shadow Heās gone chasing someoneās tomorrow Iām here holding all this sorrow I am their mother And Iām scared Iām getting it wrong [Bridge] I chose this life But I miss my own I built this home Yet feel alone Was there a door I shouldnāt have walked through? If I could go back Would I still choose you? [Chorus] I didnāt know it would feel like this Every hour Hit or miss I am their shelter Their softest pillow Even broken I still try to follow Heās gone chasing someoneās tomorrow Iām here learning from this sorrow I am their mother And Iāll stay Even when Iām wrong I still won't walk away
