You're not the person who I thought I knew
Just drift away
Not the person who taught me to tie my shoes
Not the person that raised me
And taught me to ride a bike
Not the person that praised me
When I ate the vegetables I didn't like
You're not my mother
No not anymore
People say you always will be
But the wounds are too deep and sore
You're not my mother
No not anymore
Just stay out of my life
You're not my mother anymore
You taught me what was right
You taught me what was wrong
You taught me how to feel
And I feel that it's been too long
And now I just have to say
Just fade away
'Cause you're not the same
But I can't place blame
Even though I want to
You're not my mother
No not anymore
People say you always will be
But the wounds are too deep and sore
You're not my mother
No not anymore
Just stay out of my life
You're not my mother anymore
Fade away
I don't want anything to do with you
Just drift away
You're not the person I thought I knew
I thought that you were kind
I thought that you were nice
But now I can see your veins are filled with ice
I'm turning out okay
I won't treat my family the same
I just have one thing to say
The way you treated me was fucking lame
You're not my mother
No not anymore
People say you always will be
But the wounds are too deep and sore
You're not my mother
No not anymore
Just stay out of my life
You're not my mother anymore
