I'm always wondering if I'm where I'm supposed to be
Cause everything's moving and I'm barely on my feet
Endlessly unsure of how to arrange this mess
And everyone seems to do so much more with less
Cause I'm drinking too much and I'm all out of touch
Stumbling around in the dark
And I need to know how I can figure this out
Cause it feels like I'm falling apart.
So tell me mother, when will I know what to do?
If I can't keep up, and I don't wanna get up this time
Oh my mother, when will I know how to lose?
How do I keep up when I don't wanna get up this time
Tell me it's alright
I always thought things would just fall in place
Cause when I was 16 nothing seemed too far away
And I know you see so much of yourself in me
So when did you become the woman you'd hoped you'd be
Cause I'm drinking too much and I'm all out of touch
And I'm stumbling around in the dark
And I need to know how I can figure this out
Cause it feels like I'm falling apart.
So tell me mother, when will I know what to do?
If I can't keep up and I don't wanna get up this time
Oh my mother, when will I know how to lose?
How do I keep up, when I don't wanna get up this time
Tell me mother, when will I know what to do?
If I can't keep up and I don't wanna get up this time
Oh my mother, when will I know how to lose?
How do I keep up, when I don't wanna get up this time
Tell me it's alright
