Like Mama Like Me Lyrics

We both found a man, fell in love

Both of our left hands had a diamond ring

Like mama like me

Yeah, we went all in had a couple of kids

Gave 'em all we had, it was everything

Like mama like me

Now there's two little hands waving at me

Dropping 'em off saying see ya next week

I never thought that I'd be

Driving home with an empty backseat

I sure wish that that apple fell

A little further from the tree

So just one thing wouldn't be

Like mama like me

Told myself I wouldn't

Put my kids through it

But no matter how hard I tried

It was meant to be

Like mama like me

I know I shouldn't go back down that road

I shouldn't blame myself

But that's one more thing

Like mama like me

Now there's two little hands waving at me,

Dropping 'em off saying see ya next week

I never thought that I'd be

Driving home with an empty backseat

I sure wish that that apple fell

A little further from the tree

So just one thing wouldn't be

Like mama like me

Now I'm sitting here all alone

Counting the hours 'till they're heading back home

And I'm paralyzed by silence

Staring at pictures of 'em on my phone

I sure wish that that apple fell

A little further from the tree

So just one thing wouldn't be

Like mama like me

So, I close my eyes

And fold my hands

And ask God every chance I get

To not let my daughter grow to be

Like mama like me
