Intro:
*Verse*
Mama she has taught me well
Told me when I was young
Son your life's an open book
Don't close it before it's done
The brightest flame burns quickest
Thats what I heard her say
The son's heart's owed to mother
But I must find my way....
*Chorus*
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.
*Intro again*
*Verse 2*
Remember my new last name
Wild blood in my veins
Draping the strings around my neck
The mark that still remains
Left home at an early age
of what I heard was wrong (?)
I never asked forgiveness
For what is said is done....
*Chorus*
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still.
*Verse 3*
Mama now I'm coming home
I'm not all you wished of me
A mother's love for her son
was spoken heavily(?)
yeah I took your love for granted
and all the things you said to me
I need your arms to welcome me
That cold stone's all I see.....
*Chorus*
Let my heart go
Let your son grow
Mama let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.
Let my heart go
Mama let my heart go
You never let my heart go
Mama let this heart be still.
*Bridge*
(solo over Dm G C F twice)
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
Never I asked of you
but never I gave
But you gave me your emptiness
that I'll take to my grave
So let this heart be still.
