My momma stood across the room

Face to face but never eye to eye

Recalling words we said

The battle that we swore

We'd never fight

Breaking pieces off with every lie

A tear came to her eye

And she said

Don't walk away now

And don't rip my heart out

Don't you block me out tonight

Honey where are you?

And don't hate me for loving you

He walked around my life

And made blind

With every single move

He caught me staring at him

Mad about him

Little that I knew

Love is different

When you play the fool

And all I wanna do is say

Don't walk away now

And don't rip my heart out

Don't you make cry tonight

Like you always do

And don't hate me for loving you

I slammed the door

Sat on the floor

Cried into my bed

Said are you there?

Do you even care?

To cross above my head

But someone said

Don't turn away now

And don't rip my heart out

Things are meant to happen like this

I know it's right for you

And don't hate me for loving you

I looked up at the sky

Face to face and finally

Eye to eye
