[Verse 1]
I woke up to silence where your voice used to be
The kettle don't whistle, and the walls just breathe
Your chair’s still rockin’ in that corner by the fire
But mama, without you, I’m just dressed in funeral wire
[Verse 2]
You were the anchor in my storm, my northern star
Now I’m driftin’ through shadows, wishin' on a broken heart
The world’s too loud, and I’m way too small
Since you’ve been gone, I don’t stand tall
[Chorus]
🎶 Mama, don’t close the door, I’m still callin’ your name
I’m drowning in your echo, and it don’t feel the same
You were the only light in this godforsaken cold
Now I’m wearin’ this grief like a coat full of holes 🎶
[Verse 3]
I tried to fake strong, put some lipstick on the pain
But my soul’s been drinkin’ from a glass full of rain
Folks say time heals, but they don’t know this kind of fight
It’s me against the night… and the night always bites
[Chorus]
🎶 Mama, don’t close the door, I’m still knockin’ with tears
Got no shield, no arms, just a heart full of fears
You were my home in a world built on sand
Now I'm a ghost walkin’ with no one to hold my hand 🎶
[Bridge – Spoken softly or half-sung]
If I could trade every breath just to hear you hum…
That lullaby you sang when the monsters would come
Now the monsters stay… and your song’s gone mute
And this life without you? Baby, it don't compute
[Final Chorus – slower, softer]
🎶 Mama, don’t close the door, leave the porch light on
I’m still that little girl… scared and all alone
You were my always, my shelter, my skin
And I don’t know how to live… where you’ve never been 🎶
[Outro – slow fade with a whispering trumpet]
Don’t close the door, mama… not yet…
I ain’t ready to forget…
[Female Vocal]
