Mama Lied

Chorus

Mama said the world was kind, the good ones always win

She'd say a faithful heart will never break or bend

She promised skies so blue, said tears would dry in time

But Mama lied, Mama lied

Post-Chorus

Oh, Mama lied, Mama lied

Verse 2

Told me folks will stay around if you just love 'em right

"Good work always pays off before the fall of night"

Trust in every stranger that comes knocking to your door

Now everything she warned me turns to dust upon the floor

Pre-Chorus

Growing up I listened close to everything she said

But every broken promise echoes soft inside my head

Chorus

Mama said the world was kind, the good ones always win

She'd say a faithful heart will never break or bend

She promised skies so blue, said tears would dry in time

But Mama lied, Mama lied

Post-Chorus

Oh, Mama lied, Mama lied
