A-OK - Single Mothers

Last night I had a vision I could live without permission I'm in the kitchen breaking dishes What's the difference if I don't nick one? 'Cause maybe they'll call me a joke Like I'm Becky on coke But I'm Britney on Lithium Cut on my lips just to send you a kiss with 'em I'm over rubbing my cunt Send me a key to unlock me a bomb We don't care about tongue We got the numbers but don't want the sum These days got me in a slump White women voted for Trump But this white woman bumping this white woman If we point fingers then we just gon' fight women Everyone's A-OK If you don't look too hard We could pretend we're happy Like we know who we are Everybody's doing just great If you don't look too hard We could pretend we're happy Like we know who we are Like we know who we are Like we know who we are There's nothing wrong with anyone Everything's perfect Don't have to call me anymore 'Cause everything's perfect You hit me when the lights go dark And say you gotta be, gotta be Gotta be, gotta be strong If you're the one that's doing me wrong Then why I gotta be, gotta be Gotta be, gotta be strong? There's nothing wrong with anyone Everything's perfect Don't need to ask how I'm hanging on I swear I'm fucking perfect You hit me when the lights go dark I'll tie you up, string you up Blood in my sippy cup Show your lovers who you are Now you gotta be, gotta be Gotta be, gotta be strong There's nothing wrong with anyone Everything's perfect Don't need to ask how I'm hanging on I swear I'm fucking perfect

To the mothers who aren't sleeping That are having trouble feeding Too afraid to say they're not okay No, not at all To the mothers who feel empty That aren't sure they're even ready To be alone and responsible For somebody so small To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too I've been there too To the mother that's at home Scrolling through her phone Watching everybody else Make family look easy To the mom with a career Who can't take off a whole year So she has to pay somebody else To take care of her baby To the mothers who are lost Pulled underneath the waves Who need to cry for help But are drowning in their shame To the mothers who are falling And don't even make a sound Who don't know that they're broken Until they hit the ground This one's for you I've been there too And one day you'll discover Going from a woman to a mother It might break you but it might save you To the mother in the mirror Who wishes she was thinner 'Cause now her body isn't Somebody that she knows And to the mothers just like me Who fell apart so suddenly I hope you realize You're not alone This one's for you This one's for you 'Cause I've been there too I've been there too (I love you, mom)

Took me in her arms and made me beleive You could be anything That's what she said to me I know you just want what is best for me I should be loved I should be free But mama each and every time They've been tryna find a reason to doubt me And the further I climb, they get louder tryna shout me down Well sooner or later Someone's gonna get hurt I'll know where to turn 'Cause all I need Is in my mother's eyes In my mother's eyes What it means to be me, what it means to be happy That's what she hopes for me That's what she gave to me But mama each and every time They've been tryna find a reason to doubt me And the further I climb, they get louder tryna shout me down Well, sooner or later Someone's gonna get hurt But I'll know where to turn 'Cause all I need Is in my mother's eyes In my mother's eyes In my mother's eyes In my mother's eyes, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh Na, na, na, na, na, na, na Whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh See all you've done (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) Is more, more than enough (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) And all that matters to me (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) Is how I will be How I will be seen In my mother's eyes (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) In my mother's eyes (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) In my mother's eyes (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh) In my mother's eyes (whoa, oh, oh, oh, whoa, oh, oh, oh)

Oh, can you heal me Child I know you heal me Embrace the wind Hang your head no more I feel like I'm falling Like never before Now open the sky And let me in Cause I want to feel Feel the rain on my my skin I want a heaven A heaven of our own All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone I held you to me And felt my eyes grow dim Took your hand And felt the warmth from within Unchain the storm Then lose the way Now paint the dark A dew of silver grey I want a heaven A heaven of our own All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone Heaven, oh All I want is a heaven There is where we'll be alone Can you heal me Child I know you can heal me Reach and take the knife from the water now Can you heal me Child I know you can heal me Reach and touch what I'm feeling Cry for me now
