From My Mother's Room

From My Mother’s Room Suzan Stroud

Verse 1
Contraction
I’m packing up and moving out
Leaving my room, under your heart
I know it’s tearing you apart
Contraction
With one last push you’re wishing I’ll be
All you thought you weren’t
And with my first breath I’m wishing I could be
Part of you again

Chorus
From my mother’s room
I could love myself
And watch her bloom
From my mother’s room
I could sing the sun to sleep
And shake awake the moon
From My mother’s room

Verse 2
Contraction
I’m packing up and moving out
Leaving my room, under your roof
You’re hoping I won’t go too far
Contraction
You’re closing yourself and telling me
To go ahead and find me
And with one soft kiss you know that I can see
I’m not what you thought I’d be

Chorus
From my mother’s room
I could love myself
And watch her bloom
From my mother’s room
I could sing the sun to sleep
And shake awake the moon
From My mother’s room
