Metallica - Mama Said (11/14+Lyrics)

Presenter: Metallica

Album: Load

Lyrics:

Mama, she has taught me well

Told me when I’s young

Son, your life’s an open book

Don’t close it ‘fore it’s done

The brightest flame burns quickest

That’s what I heard her say

A son’s heart’s owed to mother

But I must find my way

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

“Rebel”, my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

Apron 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

But when is said is done

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

Never I ask of you

What never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still

Mama, now I’m coming home

I’m not all you wished of me

But a mother’s love for her son

Unspoken, help me be

Oh Yeah I took your love for granted

And all the things you said to me

I need your arms to welcome me

But a cold stone’s all I see

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama, let my heart go

Or let this heart be still

Let my heart go

Mama, let my heart go

You never let my heart go

So let this heart be still

Never I ask of you

What never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I ask of you

But never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still
