[Intro]
[Verse]
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son your life's an open book
Don't close it before it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Thats what I heard her say
The son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way
[Chorus]
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Or let this heart be still.
[Instrumental]
[Verse]
Rebel, my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Apron strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
of what I heard was wrong
I never asked forgiveness
But what I said is done
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still.
[Verse]
Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
Unspoken, help me be
yeah I took your love for granted
and all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
That cold stone's all I see
[Chorus] 2X
[Bridge]
(solo over Dm G C F twice)
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
I now take to my grave
So let this heart be still.
