mothers

[00:10.21] To the mothers who aren't sleeping
[00:12.77] That are having trouble feeding
[00:15.40] Too afraid to say they're not okay
[00:18.85] No, not at all
[00:20.35] To the mothers who feel empty
[00:22.85] That aren't sure they're even ready
[00:25.77] To be alone and responsible
[00:28.07] For somebody so small
[00:30.44] To the mothers who are lost
[00:32.78] Pulled underneath the waves
[00:35.77] Who need to cry for help
[00:37.79] But are drowning in their shame
[00:40.33] To the mothers who are falling
[00:42.83] And don't even make a sound
[00:45.78] Who don't know that they're broken
[00:48.16] Until they hit the ground
[00:50.22] This one's for you
[00:52.77] I've been there too
[00:55.12] I've been there too
[01:00.06]
[01:05.96] To the mother that's at home
[01:08.71] Scrolling through her phone
[01:11.07] Watching everybody else
[01:13.63] Make family look easy
[01:16.06] To the mom with a career
[01:18.36] Who can't take off a whole year
[01:20.81] So she has to pay somebody else
[01:23.79] To take care of her baby
[01:26.03] To the mothers who are lost
[01:28.32] Pulled underneath the waves
[01:31.07] Who need to cry for help
[01:33.32] But are drowning in their shame
[01:36.13] To the mothers who are falling
[01:38.34] And don't even make a sound
[01:41.53] Who don't know that they're broken
[01:43.99] Until they hit the ground
[01:45.89] This one's for you
[01:48.29] I've been there too
[01:52.36] And one day you'll discover
[01:57.26] Going from a woman to a mother
[02:03.73] It might break you but it might save you
[02:09.34] To the mother in the mirror
[02:11.94] Who wishes she was thinner
[02:14.32] 'Cause now her body isn't
[02:16.87] Somebody that she knows
[02:19.28] And to the mothers just like me
[02:21.60] Who fell apart so suddenly
[02:24.35] I hope you realize
[02:26.41] You're not alone
[02:28.67] This one's for you
[02:33.66] This one's for you
[02:38.68] 'Cause I've been there too
[02:43.87] I've been there too
[02:46.83] (I love you, mom)
[02:47.31]
