[Intro]
What do you do when someone you love
Is on a path that you can't follow
A path that destroys your relationship
And their life
[Hook]
What do you do when life has done you wrong?
It seems like you don't wanna fight back and move on
So you give in and let the sin mold ya skin
Mama, Look at my face as it pours with rain to see you like this
[Verse 1]
In my life
I've seen so many struggles with my eyes
I sit back and think and I wonder why
Does she go through this, why does she have to God?
Why isn't her path painted gold with a taste of love?
Instead it's tainted with drugs, that party life
At the age of almost 50, damn, right?
Thunder in her dome leads to thunder in the home
Arguments that lead to fists curled, with aggression thrown
It's upsetting some, like her little boys
It's hard to see their mother abuse the substance of her choice
Vodka and club soda, look ma, I remembered
I've seen and heard it way too much, now it's embedded
In my brain, like the days you went into shock
A diabetic shouldn't live a life of a jock
This life has to stop, but you won't let it stop
It seems like all I'm waiting on now is for you to drop
(Hook) Talk
What do you do when life has done you wrong?
It seems like you don't wanna fight back and move on
So you give in and let the sin mold ya skin
Mama, Look at my face as it pours with rain to see you like this
(verse 2)
I see it in her eyes
When she comes creeping in
She's been somewhere that she promised she'd never go again
How can I learn from this
When lies cover the truth
I want my mother back, I don't know this monster who
Has taken over, look yourself in the mirror
Do you see Kelly or do you see the demons?
That's what abuse will bring
Heartache and all the pain
Misery loves company, so these alcoholic drinks
Have become your friends
The best until the end
Enemies in disguise, so why try to express
How I feel, it's killing me as well
I cannot count how many times I've took a trip to hell
I pray to God to help her rock off the socks
And knock this addiction off
I'm sick of stressing mom
This life has to stop, but you won't let it stop
It seems like all I'm waiting on now is for you to drop
[Hook]
[Verse 3]
I thought all this was gone
You covered it with lies
The pain from my heart goes to my eyes, all I do is cry
I'm angry at the choices that you have made
I still love dearly, that will never fade
You're drinking away what's left of you
It's hurting you
Not only that, but it's hurting everyone around you
I've cried and I've begged, what more can I do?
I've tried to help you momma, but addiction conquered you
