Intro – airy vocals, layered hums]
Oooh-yeah…
Mmm-mmm…
Hold me when I break, Mama…
Yeah-yeah-yeah…
[Verse 1 – floating melody]
I been driftin’ in my thoughts too long,
Tryna turn these broken pieces into songs…
You the only one who knew when somethin’ wrong,
You could hear the pain just from my tone.
Late nights when the world got cold,
You told me, “Baby, don’t you lose your soul.”
I was runnin’ wild, couldn’t let it show,
Heart full of storms I couldn’t control.
[Pre-Chorus – melodic rise]
But you stayed… even when I pushed you away…
You prayed… even when I drowned in my shame…
[Chorus – high melodic hook]
I ain’t wanna make you cryyyy, Mama…
Didn’t want you losin’ sleep at night, Mama…
I was lost tryna numb all the pain inside,
Now I’m tryna make it right, tryna make it right.
I ain’t wanna make you cryyyy, Mama…
I just need you tellin’ me it’s fine, Mama…
When the world get heavy and I start to slide,
Hold me when I break… don’t let me hide.
[Verse 2 – softer, melodic storytelling]
Every tear that you dropped made me feel it,
Every word that you spoke had healin’.
I was movin’ reckless, didn’t care ’bout my spirit,
Now I’m tryna fix the pieces that I shattered tryna fear it.
“Mama, I’m okay,”—I lied to your face,
But your heart always knew when I wasn’t in place.
You told me there’s love that nobody can replace,
Now I’m fightin’ just to live up to the faith you gave.
[Pre-Chorus – harmonized]
And you stayed… even when the world lost faith…
And you prayed… just to keep your baby safe…
[Chorus – layered vocals, emotional]
I ain’t wanna make you cryyyy, Mama…
Didn’t want you losin’ sleep at night, Mama…
I was lost tryna numb all the pain inside,
Now I’m tryna make it right, tryna make it right.
I ain’t wanna make you cryyyy, Mama…
I just need you tellin’ me it’s fine, Mama…
When the world get heavy and I start to slide,
Hold me when I break… don’t let me hide.
[Outro – soft hums fading out]
Oooh-woah…
Hold me when I break…
Mmm-mmm… yeah…
I’m tryna change… Mama…
