Can’t look in the mirror, don’t like what I see
Just a worn-out man starin’ back at me
Keep my head down, try to play it tough
But I’m runnin’ on empty and I’ve had enough
I ain’t one to cry, but I’m close tonight
Feelin’ that weight I’ve been tryin’ to fight
Oh, Mama, help me,… I’m fallin’ apart
Oh, Mama, help me,… this world’s too heavy for my worn-out heart
Oh, Mama, help me,… you always know what to say
Oh, Mama, help me,… I can’t keep livin’ this way
These walls are closin’ in
Feel like this fight won’t ever end
Oh, Mama, help me
Stackin’ paychecks just to buy some peace
But all I get is four hours of broken sleep
I laugh with the boys, but it don’t mean a thing
When the dark creeps in and the demons sing
Tryna hold on, but I’m slippin’ fast
Got one foot stuck in the broken past
Oh, Help me, mama,… I don’t know what’s wrong with me
Been workin’ like a dog, but nothin’ in this life comes free
Oh, Help me, mama,… I’ve been feelin’ low
Don’t know where to turn, don’t know where to go
These roads are long, and the nights are cold
Carrying stories that’ll never be told
But when the storm breaks, I hear you say
“Keep holdin’ on, you’ll find your way.”
Oh, Mama, help me,… I’m fallin’ apart
Oh, Mama, help me,… this world’s too heavy for my worn-out heart
Oh, Mama, help me,… you always know what to say
Oh, Mama, help me,… I can’t keep livin’ this way
These walls are closin’ in
Feel like this fight won’t ever end
Oh, Mama, help me
