Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Empty spoon in the bathroom sink
Coffee cold by the kitchen phone
Little shoes by the back door waiting
But mama never made it home
Blue lights on the neighbor’s curtains
Stretcher rolling down our drive
Doctor saying, “We almost lost her”
While my boy just closed his eyes
[Chorus]
Mama don’t go back
We already watched you fading
We already heard them say
She might not make it through today
Mama don’t go back
To the dark that almost took you
We’re standing right here in your path
So mama, don’t go back
[Verse 2]
Hospital room with the blinds half open
Sun fell soft on your shaking hands
Track marks hiding under paper bracelets
You said, “Baby, I understand
I missed birthdays, I missed ball games
I missed tucking you in at night
But if God gave me one more heartbeat
I’m gonna spend it getting right”
[Chorus]
Mama don’t go back
We already watched you fading
We already heard them say
She might not make it through today
Mama don’t go back
To the dark that almost took you
We’re standing right here in your path
So mama, don’t go back
[Bridge]
There’s crayons on your welcome home banner
Spelled “I love you” in crooked lines (oh yeah)
You’re shaking as you ring that doorbell
But they slam into your arms this time
[Chorus]
Mama don’t go back
When the whispers start to tempt you
When old numbers hit your phone
Remember, you ain’t fighting this alone
Mama don’t go back
To the night that almost took you
We’re your reason, we’re your map
So mama, don’t go back
