Bringing You Back - Song

Bringing You Back
(This is dedicated to my mother who died of cancer in 1988 at age 30, I was 4, my sister was 13...if I remember correctly)


I want to bring you back
If I follow the damned rules
Can we stay the way we were
I promise not to cry
So death can let you go, mommy
Let you live without the pain
And giving you, your little girls needing you

I`m bringing you back
With all that I have to give

Damn you why do you feel like a stranger
I want to hate you for leaving me
But I don`t know you at all...so...I`m...
Bringing you back

Motherless daughter blinded by tears
Writing letters to just a face on a photograph
Sometimes forcing myself to feel something
Happily ever after doesn`t exist for me
Without my...my...my mommy

I`m bringing you back
With all that I have to give

Damn you why do you feel like a stranger
I want to hate you for leaving me
But I don`t know you at all...so...I`m...
Bringing you back

I can`t let go of what I never had
Stolen times, fleeting, in someone else`s memories
I see your face in dreams feeling connected
Waking to a loss I really can`t explain
Who were you...are you...where are you...without me
If I could love you just a little more, would you come home...

I`m bringing you back
With all that I have to give

Damn you why do you feel like a stranger
I want to hate you for leaving me
But I don`t know you at all...so...I`m...
Bringing you back to me

I am sure your mom did not want to leave you, so there is no reason for bad feelings toward her. "bringing her back" in memory is a good thing, if you would search deeper to find her more in your heart and experience. bouquet teddybear

I've given up on dating. I'm too old to care about it now, with what I want in life. A lot of men take decades to decide if they want marriage and children, and before said time they won't bother to actually talk to me. So I intend to have children o [read more]
