mama (posted: Monday, October 29th, 2007)

Hey Mom
Why didn’t you tell me
Why didn’t you teach me a thing or two
You just let me go
Out into the World
You never thought to share what you knew

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train

Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same

I’ve sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good
I want to do it again

Hey Mom
Why didn’t you warn me
Coz about boys is something i should have known
They`re like chocolate cake
Like cigarettes
I know they’re bad for me
But I just can’t leave ‘em alone

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train

Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same

I’ve sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good
I want to do it again

I wanna do it again
Oh, felt so good

Hey Mom
Since we’re talking
What was it like when you were young
Has the world changed
Or is it still the same
A man can kill and still be the sweetest thing.

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train

Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same

I’ve sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good

So I walked under a bus
I got hit by a train

Keep falling in love
Which is kinda the same

I’ve sunk out at sea
Crashed my car, gone insane
And it felt so good
I want to do it again
I want to do it again

i had a long conversation with my mom last night. it helped me get back on the ground. while my dad fills my head with hopes and dreams, my mom talks to me about reality. and i’m starting to reconsider what i really want to do in the next few years. my long-term goal of going back to cebu and joining the family business remains the same, but i’m starting to reconsider how long i’ll be away. my mom and i aren’t that close…i mean, we don’t exactly share secrets and talk a lot. she’s a confidant, but not exactly at the top of my list. i usually run to my friends or cousins or to my dad before i go to her…i think more because they tell me what i want to hear. there are a lot of advice that should have come from her, but i got from other people. she does try though, and i really appreciate that. i know she only wants the best for me. iloveyoumama. =)
