Lyrics
To the mothers who aren't sleeping
That are having trouble feeding
Too afraid to say they're not okay
No, not at all
To the mothers who feel empty
That aren't sure they're even ready
To be alone and responsible
For somebody so small
To the mothers who are lost
Pulled underneath the waves
Who need to cry for help
But are drowning in their shame
To the mothers who are falling
And don't even make a sound
Who don't know that they're broken
Until they hit the ground
This one's for you
I've been there too
I've been there too
To the mother that's at home
Scrolling through her phone
Watching everybody else
Make family look easy
To the mom with a career
Who can't take off a whole year
So she has to pay somebody else
To take care of her baby
To the mothers who are lost
Pulled underneath the waves
Who need to cry for help
But are drowning in their shame
To the mothers who are falling
And don't even make a sound
Who don't know that they're broken
Until they hit the ground
This one's for you
I've been there too
And one day you'll discover
Going from a woman to a mother
It might break you but it might save you
To the mother in the mirror
Who wishes she was thinner
'Cause now her body isn't
Somebody that she knows
And to the mothers just like me
Who fell apart so suddenly
I hope you realize
You're not alone
This one's for you
This one's for you
'Cause I've been there too
I've been there too
(I love you, mom)
