"Mother" lyrics - ZZ WARD

ZZ WARD
"Mother"

Come do twenty-four hours in my shoes
Yeah, just twenty-four hours and see
How it feels to be totally selfless
Say goodbye to your moment to breathe

[Chorus:]
If you felt all this weight
Maybe you could relate to the brand new mother in me

It takes twenty-four hours to get it
It takes twenty-four hours indeed
And you'll swim in these pools of resentment
You'll first have why I've been so damn mean

[Chorus:]
If you had no escape
Maybe you could relate to the brand new mother in me

[Bridge:]
Oh, one hour, two hour, three hour, four
Ain't enough to know?
Think you need some more
Oh, just a few hours to swallow you whole
Think it changed your mind?
How about a lifetime?

'Cause it's twenty-four-seven commitment
It don't matter what you're dealing with
Like a train that speeds right through the station
Takes all of you to keep up with it

[Chorus:]
If you think you might break
Then you can relate to the brand new mother in me
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh
