[Intro: Natalia Kills]
|
You should write a song where the concept is…
|
You’re basically writing like a love letter, or like a piece of advice
|
To your mother, when she was your age
|
|
[Bridge: Angel Haze]
|
I don’t know
|
Maybe I would write you a happy ending
|
I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning
|
I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you
|
And let you experience all the ways that happiness could bloom before you
|
Or maybe I’m naive…
|
Maybe I’m just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed
|
It would somehow grow inside you
|
|
[Verse 1: Angel Haze]
|
Spent so much of my time wishing you were different
|
But reality is that, where life could never be provisioned
|
But if I could wish for one thing, I’d go back and I’d fix it
|
I’d tackle all your obstacles and kill them with precision
|
And better the intentions of every single person
|
Who play a part in you learning exactly what your worth is
|
I’d shower you with purpose, I’d wipe hate off the surface
|
I’d reshape all your pain and make it fucking worth it
|
No more feeling worthless, no more fucking searching
|
No more of that fraud shit, nobody else could hurt you
|
Yeah, said nobody else could hurt you
|
And if they ever tried too I’d wipe ‘em from the Earth too
|
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too
|
I know that you been running from everything that’s behind you
|
I know that you’ve been burying everything deep inside you
|
I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you
|
But I’m stuck sitting in this time frame
|
Struggling with my demons and playing these stupid mind game
|
One day it could get better, maybe it could get better
|
Maybe we could change shit, no more inclement weather
|
Know you hated your mom, know it went through your mind
|
You were just like me, wish that you had more time
|
To see life from a different angle, wrestle with a different angel
|
Wouldn’t lose your wings and fall from heaven like a cliffhanger
|
|
[Verse 2: Angel Haze]
|
Everything is different now, nothing is the same
|
And nowadays I swear it feels like you don’t know my name
|
But I look at the mirror and I see you every day
|
I’m you in every way, every hue and every shade
|
And maybe you should know, it’s the last thing that I wanted
|
Cuz what I hate about you makes me feel like I’m haunted
|
And I don’t wanna spend the rest of my time on the run and-
|
So I’m just gonna confront it, yeah I’m just gonna confront it
|
And tell you that I love you for everything you made me
|
And that you need to hear this even if it makes you angry
|
God lives inside you, you’ve already found him
|
The Devil lives in memories and you just let him hound you
|
And I despise the church for everything that they taught you
|
It’s just a fucking stain that I wish I could wipe off you
|
That I wish I could wipe off you
|
And I forgive you for doing everything that it cost you
|
Everything that it cost you
|
Fame is such a heavy price I wish it didn’t cost you
|
Losing a part of me that would follow you to Hell
|
Follow you to hatred, or follow you to jail
|
Followed you to patterns that I could never get out of
|
Now I realize that I could never make it with that love
|
Now I realize that shit is the alternative outcome
|
Never wanted you to save me, I just wish I count some
|
I just wish that you grew up with someone you could count on
|
I just wish you knew that you could never make it without love
|
For your goddamn self, and that you never ever find it in anybody else
|
Cuz I would help you find you
|
And if I saw it killing you I swear I would revive you
|
And if that meant the end of me
|
I’d do it all for you so you could have your happy end and peace
|
|
[Bridge 2: Natalia Kills]
|
Because, you are such a special thing
|
You’re not just my mom, but you’re the reason I exist
|
And the best life that you could’ve had for yourself without making a mistake
|
Would have meant I woulda had a nicer childhood
|
And even though my childhood wasn’t perfect and I still love you
|
I just want you to know that if I could go back do one thing for you
|
I would be one person for you
|
I would make sure, not just for my sake, but so that you could’ve had a nicer life
|
And a nicer childhood, that you know
|
You would not have made the mistakes that put us all in this bad situation
|
And not have the stress to leave
|
But just so that you would have been happier and stronger
|
Even if I didn’t exist, even it meant that I was never born
|
That’s what I would have wanted for you
|
|
[Verse 3: Angel Haze]
|
Yeah, and if that meant the end of me
|
I’d do it all for you so you could have your happy ending
|
Cuz I know that you hurting baby, I know that you tired too
|
I know you’ve been running from everything that’s behind you
|
I know that you’ve been burying everything deep inside you
|
I can see it killing you, wish that I could revive you
|
And if that meant the end of me
|
I’d do it all for you so you could have your happy ending
|
And if that meant the end of me
|
I’d do it all for you so you could have your happy ending
|
And if that meant the end of me
|
I’d do it all for you so you could have your happy ending
|
|
[Outro: Angel Haze]
|
I don’t know
|
Maybe I would write you a happy ending
|
I would rearrange the pieces to your sad beginning
|
I would put you far away from the decaying roots that bore you
|
And let you experience all the ways that happiness could bloom before you
|
Or maybe I’m naive…
|
Maybe I’m just a kid who thought that if she could plant a seed
|
It would somehow grow inside you
|
And that I could hide you from the rain
|
So that it could be easier for happiness to find you
|
Or maybe I’m still a kid who’s caught in a dream
|
I’m the heir to the throne of a princess who’s still trying to be queen
|
Or maybe we’re all just caught in the winds of a massacre
|
The blackened leaves of dying, black dahlias
|
