Nowhere to go

Mama’s been crying, she don’t think I hear

She wipes her tears when I get near

But the walls are thin, and my heart still breaks

I know she’s trapped, I know she aches

He says he’ll take us, pack our bags

Like we’re just pieces he can drag

Far from home, far from light

I don’t wanna live in someone else’s life

I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna leave

I don’t wanna be a ghost in a house that don’t breathe

Mama, don’t let him break your soul

Even if he says we got nowhere to go

I hear you whisper, I see your fear

You say, “Maybe it’s safer if we just stay here”

But what’s the cost? What’s left of you?

If love is a prison, then break the rules

He says he’ll take us, tear us apart

But love don’t live in a house that’s dark

We still have names, we still have hands

We’re not just shadows in his plans

I don’t wanna go, I don’t wanna leave

I don’t wanna be a ghost in a house that don’t breathe

Mama, don’t let him break your soul

Even if he says we got nowhere to go

Maybe it’s messy, maybe it’s cold

Maybe we lose more than we hold

But love don’t mean staying quiet and small

And mama, you deserve it all

We still got us, we still got hope

Even if he says we got nowhere to go…
