Mama Said lyrics

by Metallica
Load albums

Mama, she has taught me well.
Told me when I was young.
"Son, your life's an open book.
Don't close it 'fore its done".
"The brightest flame burns quickest".
That's what I heard her say.
A son's heart owed to mother.
But I must find my way .

Let my heart go.
Let your son grow.
Mama, let my heart go.
Let this heart be still.
Yeah, still .

Rebel, mind your last name.
Wild blood in my veins.
Apron strings around my neck.
The mark that still remains.
Left home at an early age.
Of what I heard was wrong.
I never asked forgiveness.
But what is said is done .

Let my heart go.
Let your son grow.
Mama, let my heart go.
Let this heart be still .

Never I ask of you.
But never I gave.
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave.
Never I ask of you.
But never I gave.
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave.
So let this heart be still .

Mama, now I'm coming home.
I'm not all you wished of me.
A mother's love for her son.
Spoken, help me be.
I took your love for granted.
Not a thing you said to me.
I needed your arms to welcome me.
But, a cold stone's all I see .

Let my heart go.
Let your son grow.
Mama, let my heart go.
Let this heart be still .

Let my heart go.
Mama, let my heart go.
You never let my heart go.
So let this heart be still .

Never I ask of you.
But never I gave.
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave.
Never I ask of you.
But never I gave.
But you gave me your emptiness that I'll take to my grave.
Let this heart be still.
