Hi Mum
Well hey mum
Is me
Your oldest
Feels like I’ve been without u the longest
Since the beginning
So when I see a family glowing
I really do be grinning
I ain’t known such belonging
Well at least I don’t remember
Yet I still manage to miss you
Why’s that?
I see you as a sorta stranger
Cos I know u don’t know me
I may be half you
But I don’t know half of you
And you don’t know half of me
So maybe we should talk more?
Is that somthing you’d want?
You said some tough
And I ain’t saying I’m perfect
I’d admit I’m suspect
You said you didn’t love me
That’s never left my mind
Maybe that’s why I miss you
Try and disprove you
See I want you to need me, miss me uno
All you seem to do is hate me tho
So I’m here
Wondering where we at
Tryna remember a time
When our family sat
And we was all in one room
No separation, didn’t need no zoom
But I can’t get past the wall that’s built
Can’t climb over or go round
So I’ll just keep this frown
You tuned my world upside down
My mind inside out
I’m still tryna correct it
Need some joy to inject it
Serotonin a needed chemical
Maybe you’re the missing element
yet i don’t want to be on your table
