Mama Always Told Me lyrics
by Tyler Ward
[Verse 1]
Middle of the summer where the sun sets red
I'm getting used to these bloodshot eyes and cigarettes
But will I ever get the words you said out of my head?
It's like my whole world's been a mess since you left
[Pre-Chorus]
Put down an empty glass over our Kodak
Spinning records that you gave me from way back
And this whole scene's been on repeat
It's the perfect definition of insanity
[Chorus]
Mama always told me
There'd be days like this
Weeks like this
Where I miss your kisses
But no one ever told me
There'd be months like this
Years like this
Where I miss your kisses
Hey, I miss your kisses
[Verse 2]
Yeah, I packed up all your things into that blue suitcase
(Into that blue suitcase)
But still hoping that your going was a joke, April Fools' Day
Why did you have to go away
Now I don't understand how people just move on
(People move on, how the people move on)
So I left your robe and your raincoat in the closet by the phone
'Til you come back home
