A Soft Place

You need a soft place to fall,
But that just isn't all.
He may be comfortable that's true.
And I guess he'll be faithful to you.
But sweetheart can't you see,
That is just not reality.

You need to spread your wings some more
But it seems that you've already closed the door.
I know that you are in pain,
But it is insane
 If you re-enter into this relationship again.
I am your mother, I won't lead you astray,
When you make wrong choices you'll eventually pay.

He does control you baby don't you see?
So for heavens sake please listen to me!
Forgive me if you think I'm callous I'm not.
But you and your sister are the only precious gems I've got.
