[Verse 1] I wish you were around more I know im absent myself But I need you here I know it's hard to do right When you dont know what right is I just need you here More than you are I feel the gap in my chest Like a door left open Cold air on the floor I call and call, still hoping You hear me through the noise Through the weight I wore I fear that day You wont be able to When one of us is gone forever It sits on my tongue Heavy as iron And I don't say forever [Pre-Chorus] I know she's trying She try her best I know she's trying But my heart can't rest [Chorus] I need my mother I need my mother I need my mother close I need my mother I need my mother Before I lose that hope I just need you here More than you are I just need you here Don't drift too far [Verse 2] It will probably be me who goes first Since im not okey And im struggling so much But even if you die first Ill always wish I had you closer Had more time together, had more touch I look at your face And I see the fight And I hate that I missed so much I keep my pride in my pocket But I need your hand I need your voice in my hush I feel so far away from you mother I cant close the gap Oh lord im trying I take one step, then another Still the space stays there And it keeps on crying [Pre-Chorus] I know she's trying She try her best I know she's trying But my heart can't rest [Chorus] I need my mother I need my mother I need my mother close I need my mother I need my mother Before I lose that hope I just need you here More than you are I just need you here Don't drift too far [Bridge] [Half-time] If I could take back time I'd bring you to my side I'd trade my stubborn pride For one more ride And if the day comes fast And one of us is gone I won't stop wanting more I won't move on [Final Chorus] I need my mother I need my mother I need my mother close I need my mother I need my mother Before I lose that hope I just need you here More than you are I just need you here Don't drift too far I need my mother I need my mother I need my mother close I need my mother I need my mother Please stay in my reach
