I was always an unusual girl.<br /> My mother told me I had a chameleon soul, no moral compass pointing due north, no fixed personality; just an inner indecisiveness that was as wide and as wavering as the ocean...<br /> And if I said I didn&#039;t plan for it to turn out this way I&#039;d be lying...<br /> Because I was born to be the other woman.<br /> Who belonged to no one, who belonged to everyone.<br /> Who had nothing, who wanted everything, with a fire for every experience and an obsession for freedom that terrified me to the point that I couldn&#039;t even talk about it, and pushed me to a nomadic point of madness that both dazzled and dizzied me.


Mother
Oh mother
Where have you gone
It seems like I've lost you
To those drinks at the bar

Mother
Oh mother
I should have known
You wouldn't be you
When you came back home

Mother
Oh mother
You look so tired
But you're awoken
By the squeaks of the tires

Mother
Oh mother
You made me so mad
When you hit me in the head
But now I'm so sad

Mother
Oh mother
You're never coming back
But I guess that I loved you
Even after all your smacks

Mother
Oh mother
I wish I would've told you
That I didn't want you to die
In that hospital bed
