mothers Lyrics

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 ones 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 her 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 they're broken until they hit the ground
This ones 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
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
