Nothing can give us back this time we've wasted
(we weren't thinking straight act like you don't know)
tangled in this games we play, with no meaning
(too late to regret them I pray we'll learn to let go)
Hum hum hum hum...
I pray we'll learn to let go
pray we'll learn to let go
hum hum hum hum...
I pray we'll learn to let go
pray we'll learn to let go
Mother you could not let me go
still you couldn't keep me from pain
keep me away from it all
father it was all out of love
but tell me why it tears me apart
why do we end up with the hurt
hurt... hurt... hurt... hurt...
So tired of hearing that time fixes everything
mistakes keep repeating, I can't make sense of it all
you're my palm reader, wanna know every secret
I could stop trying to change you,
if you would take me for who I am
Hum hum hum hum...
Can you take me for who I am?
Can you take me for who I am?
hum hum hum hum...
Can you take me for who I am?
Can you take me for who I am?
Mother you could not let me go
still you couldn't keep me from pain
keep me away from it all
father it was all out of love
but tell me why it tears me apart
why do we end up with the hurt
Mother I keep letting you down
tell me why it's never enough
I end up with nothing at all
father you would not let me fall
but why are you afraid to look down
afraid we'll end up with the hurt
Mother why do we act so cold?
The difference it would have made
to realize we were the same
and all the good we could have done
if we had felt like we were one
you're my palm reader, wanna know all my secrets
I could stop trying to change you,
Can you take me for who I am?
