Tell Me Mom

I called out your name today and some people thought I was insain
I looked around wishing you could hear me and would answer back
But I stood there listening and no reply was called back to me
Tell me mother what did I do to deserve this
Tell me why I can't get no answers
Im so angry I can not see straight
I'm tired of being clueless
Im tired of wondering why you left us
You tore the family apart when you passed away
So tell me mom why he took you
When your what held us together
Tell me mom why you went away
