Covered in White

(Verse 1)

My mother says she's fine

But I know that's a lie

I read in between the lines

Her waist is thinner

Her pupils are bigger

She's fallen down

Addiction has taken her crown

(Chorus)

This beauty of a queen

Is taken from her throne

Unable to love

Unable to hold her babies close

This woman that I know

Has fallen from grace

The plate in front of her is covered in white

And I hold on tight

Because I don't want to lose her

(Verse 2)

Her eyes are sunken in deep

Her bank account is empty

And she's asking for more money

I don't want to be mean

I just want her to love me

But I can't enable this

I can't let her hurt herself again

And if that means she has to hate me

If that means she has to blame me

Then I'll take the heat

But I can't be the reason

That she's barely breathing

Or that she doesn't wake up one morning

(Chorus)

This beauty of a queen

Is taken from her throne

Unable to love

Unable to hold her babies close

This woman that I know

Has fallen from grace

The plate in front of her is covered in white

And I hold on tight

Because I don't want to lose her

(Outro)

And I'm so scared

That one day she won't open her eyes

We'll be in a small room

The walls painted with roses

An opened casket

Her body covered in white

A silent prayer

For the beloved mother
