[Verse 1]
Oh, Mom, I'm trying but lately, I just can't breathe
And I know it's all in my head but it gets to me
'Cause I let go of the stars but somethings in my heart
Feel like a rose without a thorn to keep me company

[Pre-Chorus]
Every time you lost yourself
Tell me where did you go
All the nights you felt alive
All the times you felt alone
How you ever felt this way?
Something you can explain
There's something deep inside my soul
That just won't go away

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you proud
But I took a look around, oh
I know
Things will somehow be okay
But I need something more today, oh
Than a sweet word

[Verse 2]
Oh, Mom, I'm trying but lately I just can't breathe
'Cause this life I wanted, don't know if it's meant for me
If you had to fill these shoes, tell me what you'd do
I need a voice to fill the void and give me clarity
[Pre-Chorus]
Every time you lost yourself
Tell me where did you go
All the nights you felt alive
All the times you felt alone
How you ever felt this way?
Something you can explain
There's something deep inside my soul
That just won't go away

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you proud
But I took a look around, oh
I know
Things will somehow be okay
But I need something more today, oh
Than a sweet word

[Chorus]
I just wanna make you proud
But I took a look around, oh
I know
Things will somehow be okay
But I need something more today, oh
Than a sweet word
I just wanna make you proud
But I took a look around, oh
I know
Things will somehow be okay
But I need something more today, oh
Than a sweet word
[Outro]
A sweet word, a sweet word (A sweet word)
Than a sweet word
A sweet word, a sweet word (A sweet word)
Than a sweet word
