Tale Madre Tale Figlia Lyrics

She said it's impossible to love you

And she said you're on your own

She said you're your father's daughter

And that's just someone I can't hold

See, here's the thing, mama

I'm not afraid of death

Cause you taught me to stand the pain

And hold my breath

Here's the thing, mama

Through all the pain

I'd still die for you

I wish you felt the same

And now I know the rules

Number one, that you come first

And second, that your daughter

Must always prove her worth

But I won't play the game

That you taught me so well

And I'll make sure my little girl's

Set free from the spell

She said you'll never be a singer

And she said you'll never grow

She said you'll be ugliest forever

But there is something you don't know

I used to whimper, I used to cry

Used to search for a reason

Why you didn't love me

I used to pray that you'd come home

Wouldn't leave me

All alone, that you would love me

See, here's the thing, mama

That I've cheated death

So your words don't hurt no more

Or make me lose my breath

Here's the thing, mama

I found the love you wouldn't give

And I handed it to myself instead

Cause now I know the rules

That I'm deserving of love

And all the pain you rained

Strengthened me from above

So I'll only take the good

That you taught me so well

And I'll hope that you find the strength

To heal yourself as well

I said I still love you, mama

And I said you're not alone

I said I know that you are trying

And I hope that you found a home
