Lyrics of 'Yours Truly' by Bruno Bessa

Mother, mother
You don't know who I am
I spent my life trying to be a better man
Mother, mother
It didn't go as I planned
There comes a time when you cease to pretend

There was a price I had to pay
I could not stay

Mother, Mother
I knew that day would come
Maybe deep inside I was just playing numb
Mother, Mother
I'm standing on my own
But there's no place that I can call a home

It's the price I got to pay
I'm so afraid

I have to face the world alone
Where the souls are cold as stone
I must say, you were probably wrong
When you said it would make me strong
Yes, you were wrong

Mother, mother
This is not wonderland
I never thought my life would get so out of hand
Mother, mother
Maybe you don't care what I am
You loved me more than I can understand

People don't love like you do
They're not like you

I have to face the world alone
Where the souls are cold as stone
I must say, you were probably wrong
When you said it would make me strong
Yes, you were wrong

I know you wish you could only turn back time
But life is not a story that we can rewrite
And that's the way it is
There is no goodnight kiss
Or lullaby

I have to face the world alone
Where the souls are cold as stone
I must say, you were probably wrong
When you said it would make me strong
Yes, you were wrong
