~~~
You moved in
and tried to take her place
when she went away
but now she's back
and here for good
I tried to talk, but you wouldn't listen
She is always there for me.
She is my mom
And you're not.
~~~
She is my best friend
You're my worst enemy
So please stop trying
to take her place
and keep her
out of my life, for
She is my mom
And you're not
~~~
You yell and scream
Rant and nag
She talks and listens
She teaches me and helps me
When I need advice
She is my mom
And you are not.
