Lyrics for LETTER TO MOM by Iris DeMent:
| | | Artist: | Iris DeMent |
| | Album: | Unknown | | Track: | LETTER TO MOM | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 78 | | | | Lyrics: | I wrote my mother yesterday 'cause I had some things that I had to say
and I know that when she
reads them she's gonna cry
But in the end I hope she sees
that I'm just trying to break
free
'cause I've been walking 'round with secrets now, too long
Back when I was barely
ten Mom brought home a new boyfriend
and I know that times were bad and he made her feel
good
but one night he climbed into my bed
and he left me wishing I was dead
and I've
been walking 'round with secrets now, too long
You say I'm digging up the past and it's not
wise to go back
but for me it's just as close as yesterday
and I'm not the kind for breaking
rules
and I'm not wanting to be cruel
I've just been walking 'round with secrets now, too
long
All my life I've felt ashamed, 'cause I thought I was the one to blame
and I vowed
to God that no one else would ever know
how he crushed my childish pride
and left me tears
that never dried
and I've been walking 'round with secrets now, too long
You say I'm
digging up the past and it's not wise to go back
but for me it's just as close as
yesterday
and I'm not the kind for breaking rules
and I'm not wanting to be cruel
I've
just been walking 'round with secrets now, too long
and I've just been walking 'round with
secrets now, too long | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
