Mother i'm fine Everything's okay It doesn't help to worry anyway i'll be back before you know you'll be so proud to know i was strong i didn't let you down mother, i lied this is not for me i've seen so many people die and somehow i'm still here and i don't know why i should be the lucky one who gets to see another morning through these tired eyes mother i'm dying nothing more to give my body breathes but i don't want to live and the bullet that's supposed to go inside some poor son's back i hope it blows up in my face so i can say mother i died and you won't have to know there's nothing left but anger in my soul i never found my truth out there i never knew why we were there i lost my youth but no one seemed to care mother i'm fine, everything's okay it doesn't help to miss me anyway i'll be in your heart you know and you will be so proud to know i was strong i didn't let you down i didn't let you down i didn't let you down i didn't let you down
