My sweet babe
I'm writing you now
So you'll know who I am
In case I shut it out
I never knew my mum
She didn't hear me out
We couldn't understand
And all that made us cry
I remember her scent
Her soft hair and her arms
Inside I wasn't scared
Until she scared me out
She wanted all the best
And everything was fine
The Christmas tree was great
No family around
With the best intentions
And all the sweetest love
She gave me everything
Then everything was lost
No matter what you do
If I yell at you
Give me a hug, my babe
And tell me to be brave...
And I'll be brave for you
Ten years will pass
But remember the ice
Against it, in my chest
My heart will start a fight
Neither will win I guess
Don't wanna tell you lies
It might be for the best
Deep tender mother heart
With the best intentions
And all the sweetest love
We'll give you everything
Hoping it won't be lost
No matter what you do
If I yell at you
Give me a hug, my babe
And tell me to be brave...
And I'll be brave for you, you, you
I'll be brave for you, you, you
I will be brave for you
I'll be brave for you, oh
I'll be brave for you, oh!
