Verse 1
Twenty-one years gone, and I'm still trying to find
My place in the world, and the love that's on my mind
You showed me love with every smile
But in your eyes, I see a different face
Vhorus
Oh, Mom, I'm torn between the love we share
And the pain that hides behind your care
I want to believe you're always there for me
But sometimes it feels like you're far from me
Verse 2
Your words can heal, your words can hurt
I'm searching for the truth in every word
You say you love me, but I feel the pain
Of a love that's conditional, a love in vain
Chorus
Oh, Mom, I'm torn between the love we share
And the pain that hides behind your care
I want to believe you're always there for me
But sometimes it feels like you're far from me
Verse 2
Maybe I'm just searching for a way
To understand the love that's here to stay
Maybe I'm just trying to find my place
In the love that's given with a complicated face
