She told him not to worry about a thing
Did she think through what those words really meant to him
After a winding road and a long, lonely day
Did she even know what she was trying to say
His mama told him he would be safe under her wing
That was all until he grew up and started to sing
His own wings felt the need to take a bite of air
He went outside the wall and learned life ain't fair
Truth can hurt if you're living a lie
Waiting for relief and begging to get high
It can hurt when you're singing your song
But the audience isn't singing along
A year had passed and it happened again
For some reason she felt the need to find a friend
She made him mad again well he could not comprehend
What was the message she was trying to send
Did you find yourself just moaning at the wall
Did you find yourself in the middle of it all
Ttruth can hurt if you're living a lie
Waiting for relief and begging to get high
It can hurt when you're singing your song
But the audience isn't singing along
