Tried to Be Me (Mama Lemme Tell You Something)

I know it’s been a really long road (huhhh)
I know it’s been a really hard road (yeahhhhh)
Especially when you wanna prove them wrong
I know the feeling when you don’t succeed

But that is not a reason to stop here (no)
You tell that to yourself every night (so)
You don’t go crazy in your mind
And end up abandoning your loved ones behind

Mama let me tell you something,
You don’t know about me
And I really hope you'll see
That I really tried to be me

Mama if I ever lose
Promise that you’ll smile through
Like everyday you always do
I don’t wanna see you blue (no)

I found another reason to be happy
But that is only just momentarily
I go back being all sad and
Everybody wonders why I’m acting like a mad man
They didn’t even ask me how my day went
They just assume I had no demons
So I shut the door and let nobody else in
Promise to myself that it’s just me and my skin

Mama let me tell you something,
You don’t know about me
And I really hope you'll see
That I really tried to be me

Mama if I ever lose
Promise that you’ll smile through
Like everyday you always do
I don’t wanna see you blue, no

Monologue
Living is so hard, it’s a hell I can’t escape but
Loving is so special, I can’t help but wonder if you’re okay
If you listening right now, I know you in the same place, so
Wipe ya face and say I love you to the people who been there since
At the end of the day, you gonna be okay
