This Mother's Heart

If it's OK, I'll leave the bed-light on
And place your water glass where it belongs
And if it's alright, I'll lie awake at night
Pretending I am curled up at your side
See I'm circling in these patterns
Living out of memories
I'm still a long way from accepting it
That there's just no you and me.

But if I still believe you love me
Maybe I'll survive
So I tell myself you're coming home
Like you've done a million times
And if it's alright, I'll still be loving you
Cause I can't break it to my heart.

Is it just me, did I commit a crime?
I won't believe that loving you is just a waste of time
Was it in my head
Reading into things you never said
Cause I still don't have the answers
To why we couldn't work it out
I wanna think it's something that I did
So I can turn it back around.

But if I still believe you love me
Maybe I'll survive
So I tell myself you're coming home
Like you've done a million times
And if it's alright, I'll still be loving you
Cause I can't break it to my heart.

I wanna convince myself, we're perfect in every single way
As long as I can keep the truth away from my heart
Ooh, cause I can't break it to my heart
Oooohhh
Cause I still don't have the answers
To why we couldn't work it out
I wanna think it's something that I did
So I can turn it back around.

But if I still believe you love me
Maybe I'll survive
So I tell myself you're coming home
Like you've done a million times
And if it's alright, I'll still be loving you
And if it's alright, I'll still be loving you
Cause I can't break it to my heart
I can't break it to my heart.
