[Verse 1]
I woke after dark today
I think I've done something to upset the stars again
The moon won't return my calls
But I deserve it
I deserve it all

[Chorus 1]
And if you told me
That it would be this hard
I never would have let my mother put me down
I'd make her hold me
And woe betide if one of my
Selfish feet touched the ground

[Verse 2]
My plants are mad at me they say
I'm an unfit mother and they should be taken away
My darlings, I'm so sorry
That's all on me
It was I who made you stay

[Verse 3]
Cause I was lonely
My mother owed me one
To feel this way
I deserve it all the same
[Chorus 1]
And if you told me
That it would be this hard
I never would have let my mother put me down
I'd make her hold me
And woe betide if one of my
Selfish feet touched the ground

[Chorus 2]
And if you told me
That life would go downhill
I would have made her hold me
'til her bones were tired, better her than I
And woe betide that one of my
Selfish feet touched the ground
