lyrics
i am nothing like my mother
she is stronger she is wiser
she told me how to heal my broken heart
she just said don't think about it
she would hold me in her long arms
tell me when it hurts don't be alarmed
mama tell me
how i should be
you are like the earth
and i'm persephone
mama tell me
how life should be
you are like the sunrise
and i'm a tired lady
i stood standing in the cold rain
wishing that i'd brought an umbrella
she warned me that i would feel this way
now i'm wishing that her voice would go away
i started wondering if i'd catch a cold
wondering when my heart became so old
mama tell me
how i should be
you are like the earth
and i'm persephone
mama tell me
how life should be
you are like the sunrise
and i'm a tired lady
