Mother
Alex Burey Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Into your world (your world)
You have given life
Two boys and one girl (one girl)
And then you say
And then you say
The hardest words to hear
Something will keep you near
Don't go
Don't go
The lyrics of Alex Burey's song "Mother" describe the love and admiration that the singer feels towards his mother.

However, he then goes on to describe how difficult it is to hear his mother tell him that she has to leave. He prays every day that she will always stay close to him and not go away. The repetition of "don't go" reinforces the singer's desperation to keep his mother close, demonstrating how important she is to him.
The lyrics of the song are emotional and heartfelt, inviting the listener to empathize with the singer's experience of a mother's love. It is clear that the relationship between the singer and his mother is one of deep love and intimacy, which is why the thought of separation is so distressing to him.

Didn't I make you feel good?
Didn't I make you feel loved?
I never knew how to trust
I never knew what it would do to us
Didn't I make you feel special?
Didn't I make you feel new?
I never meant to break your heart
I didn't know what else to do
We have an unspoken beautiful thing
We have an unpsoken beautiful thing
I was growing, still young and not knowing
The pain I'd caused and I'm sorry, I'm sorry
Girl, I miss your gentle sweet whisper
And I miss your shining eyes
I miss the arms that wrapped me up
And said goodbye
We have an unspoken beautiful thing
We have an unpsoken beautiful thing
We have an unspoken beautiful thing
We have an unpsoken beautiful thing
