well

she says “shut up”
“I know that life sucks”
“I’ve had it worse than you”
“grow up” she laughs
“get out” and hugs me
“make some news so you can”
“come back and tell me”
“all about it”
“I can’t wait to see you smile”

she turns around
and shuts the door
there’s still a lot to do
some day, she swears
her kids will break her
never seeing what they’ve done
and though she
has these moments
she knows that all is gonna be just fine

you’ve tried to get the best out of us
it was never easy, I know
you’ve tried to be a good friend to us
and you did it well, well, well

she says that
she lives a good life
it wasn’t always like that
I heard her
the other day
reflecting about it
“I’ve seen the cold”
“and know how it feels like”
“I’m glad that my place is right here”

you’ve tried to get the best out of us
it was never easy, I know
you’ve tried to be a good friend to us
and you did it well, well, well

you’ve tried to get the best out of us
life is never easy, we know
you’ve tried to be a good friend to us
and you did it well
