Mother I need to talk to you
There's something that you need to know
I'm just gonna spit it out
You probably guessed it years ago
It's something that I've spent so long not saying
Sometimes it's on the tip on my tongue
But only spoken aloud, alone while I'm praying
All I ask is an open-mind
It's such a lonely bridge to cross
I've searched for answers on my own
And find that I'm completely lost
Berkley took their wait list
When they called I almost died
Would you really go to Berkley?
I didn't know that you'd applied
Where did Notre Dame go?
I didn't know that you withdrew
People will be disappointed
Have you really thought this through?
Mom this is important
Mom you need to listen
Please don't shut me out here
Mom you need to see me
Peter, please I'm so busy here
Let me call you later dear
God this is so hard to say
I'm so afraid you'll turn away, Mom, I'm
Peter, please, I need a break
Whatever it is will have to wait
I'm going to hang up now
I really need to hang up now
Don't hang up this took such courage
I'm dying here, I'm all alone
I know you know you know what I'm saying
Just let me tell you
Mom, I'm
Peter, please, I can't solve all your problems
Mother you know nothing of them
And I'm not expecting you to find solutions
Just to be my Mom and my friend
See me
I've been waiting to tell you this since I was twelve
You don't want to hear it
You don't want to see me
Can't bear to see me
Peter you tend to dramatize
There's a reason for that mother
Open your eyes
Peter, please, I have to go now
I really need to go right now
When mom, when are you going to call?
We can work this out together
This is always on my mind
Please don't hang up
Please see me
