Erin Bowman - Your Mother Lyrics

Wake up in the arms of a west coast lover
You're back east blaming your issues on your mother
It's hard to feel free, for me it's hard to believe
That we were nothing, coulda sworn that we were something
I pretend I don't really care, you know I'm bluffing
Cause honestly, it's taken some time to be ok

You reach out, small talk, tell me I'm pretty
Ask me how I'm doing, hey, hows the new city
And either you don't care, or maybe you're just unaware
That you hurt me real good, you did some damage
But that's just you, yeah yeah, I know you're tragic
Maybe we should have a sit down, I think it's time you figure your shit out

Cause I've been in over my head and out of my mind
Hoping for a little bit of sleep to get me by
Yeah I've been in over my head protecting what's mine
Messed up on emotions I can't seem to get right
Messed up from feelings I can't seem to fight

Now I wake up to the sound of a new song
Ringing in my ears, of course, it's a blues song
When did things go bad? When did it get like that?
You go back on your words and all your promises
I need a new drug, I'm getting off you, call up the pharmacist
My friends try to talk me down
They try and help me figure it out

Cause I've been in over my head and out of my mind
Hoping for a little bit of sleep to get me by
Yeah I've been in over my head protecting what's mine
Messed up on emotions I can't seem to get right
Messed up from feelings I can't seem to fight

And I'm not sure why or how I adored ya
Maybe it's lonely in California
And somehow you made me feel home
But that beach day haunts me
Oh yeah it cost me
Guess there's a price just to want you to want me
Tell me how much do I owe, tell me how much do I...

When one plus one is two but not for you cause
You solve problems how you want and man it's useless
To try and teach you the way, we're never gonna be ok
Cause with you I'm swimming upstream against a current
But you're pulling me in, god damn I wish you weren't
Three thousand miles away, still somehow messing up my day

Cause I've been in over my head and out of my mind
Hoping for a little bit of sleep to get me by
Yeah I've been in over my head protecting my pride
Messed up on emotions I can't seem to get right
Messed up from feelings I can't seem to fight
