Lyrics

0:19Mama she has taught me well
0:22Told me when I was young
0:25Son your lifes an open book
0:29Don't close it before its done
0:32The brightest flame burns quickest
0:36Is what I heard they say
0:40A sons hearts owned to mother
0:43But I must find my way
0:49Let my heart go
0:56Let your son grow
1:02Mama let my heart go
1:08Or let this heart be still
1:30Rebel my new last name
1:33Wild blood in my veins
1:37Apron strings around my neck
1:40The mark that still remains
1:44Left home at an early age
1:48Of what I heard was wrong
1:51I never ask forgiveness
1:54For what I said is done
2:00Let my heart go
2:06Let your son grow
2:12Mama let my heart go
2:18Or let this heart be still
2:26Never I ask you
2:29But never I gave
2:32Witch you gave me your emptiness
2:36And now take to my grave
2:39Never I ask you
2:43But never I gave
2:46Witch you gave me your emptiness
2:49And now take to my grave
2:53So let this heart be still
3:01Mama now I'm coming home
3:04I'm not all you wished of me
3:08But a mothers love for her son
3:11Unspoken hear me be
3:14Yeah I took your love for granted
3:18And all the things you said to me
3:22I need your arms to welcome me
3:25But a cold stones all I see
3:33Let my heart go
3:39Let your son grow
3:45Mama let my heart go
3:51Or let this heart be still
3:59Let my heart go
4:05Mama let my heart go
4:10You never let my heart go
4:17So let this heart be still
4:39Never I ask you
4:41But never I gave
4:45But you gave me your emptiness
4:48And now take to my grave
4:52Never I ask you
4:56But never I gave
4:59But you gave me your emptiness
5:02And now take to my grave
5:06So let this heart be still
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son your lifes an open book
Don't close it before its done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Is what I heard they say
A sons hearts owned to mother
But I must find my way
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
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 ask forgiveness
For what I said is done
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
Never I ask you
But never I gave
Witch you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
Never I ask you
But never I gave
Witch you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
But a mothers love for her son
Unspoken  hear me be
Yeah I took your love for granted
And all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
But a cold stones all I see
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Or let this heart be still
Let my heart go
Mama let my heart go
You never let my heart go
So let this heart be still
Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
Never I ask you
But never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
And now take to my grave
So let this heart be still
