Mama, why didn't you tell me
I was already home
Mama, I know nothing about being alone
Mama, they’re caving around me
No one remembers where they've been
I too find it easier to pretend
So if I was a stranger on the street
Would you stop
Or is it naïve to expect your eye
Would be caught
Why does it feel so hard to move on
Why does it feel so wrong to move on
Mama, why didn’t you warn me
I’ve got everything to lose
Mama, they’re fighting around me
And I ain't got a clue
Mama, I don't know what is real
and what I’ve dreamt
I don't know what is sacred and what
I’ve just kept
But if I was a stranger
On the train, would you know,
That I am the girl that you once held close
Why does it feel so hard to move on
Why does it feel so wrong to move on
Is it childish to think that you’ll come around
But I still imagine it anyhow
Why does it feel so hard to move on
Why does it feel so wrong to move on
