Your Mother’s Name lyrics
by Susannah Joffe
[Verse 1]
I guess I lied when I say
I'd take your mother's name
She was so mean, why was I the same?
(Yeah)
[Verse 2]
Her hands were smaller
Yours were too big for just a girl
But they held me so good, so pretty
With your cracked polish and dirt
[Chorus]
Unrequited love is part of being young
But I'm tired of sleeping by a warm gun
That's why your mother cries
That's why she's so f*cking mean all the time
Unrequited love is part of being young
[Post-Chorus]
Being young, being young
[Verse 3]
Put my headphones in, listening
To thе same sad sh*t
The stranger across has your samе gold cross
But it doesn't suit him
Like your mother's did
Even though you're an atheist
Now I am too 'cause there's no way a god would let me lose you
[Chorus]
Unrequited love is part of being young
But I'm tired of sleeping by a warm gun
That's why your mother cries
That's why she's so f*cking mean all the time
Unrequited love is part of being young
[Post-Chorus]
Being young, being young
[Bridge]
It sits like a rock in my liver
And I keep getting sicker
But it can't be undone
It's part of being young
Sleep around, call me a winner
But my love's getting thinner
And I'm coming undone
It's part of being young
[Outro]
Being young, being young
Being young, being young
