Tell Me Mama
Bob Corritore & Friends Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell me why you're gone
Something we never were
It's all falling apart
I wanted it so bad
I was afraid again
I'll never run away from everday nightmares
I watched my behavior
I even acted braver
I wanted just to date you
I tried to become better
And you became my center
I couldn't stop it happen
But you're my only matter
Have I ever been in love?
Have I ever been in fall?
Am I falling from above?
Or I'm coming from below?
Yes, yes, I was in love so many times
But right now is something else I can't describe
I'm happy everyday like I always cried
But am I?
Am I that happy?
Something has changed
Or is my mind just tells me stop from being blind?
You are so kind in front of me and behind
Who consumed so much of my power in one go?
Who has seen too much of my other side though?
Who has damaged me so bad?
Am I truly still myself?
Who has taken with them?
Am I gonna be real damned?
Just tell me what we are
Tell me why you're gone
Something we never were
It's all falling apart
I wanted it so bad
I was afraid again
I'll never run away from everday nightmares
I got a lot to take off my chest
My feelings are vast
Because you're the best
Who would've thought that you'd be my angel, my key, my heart and my whole universe?
The lyrics to Bob Corritore & Friends' song Tell Me Mama express a theme of confusion and uncertainty about a relationship. The singer is asking for clarity and understanding, as they are struggling to discern what their relationship truly is and why their partner has left. The lyrics suggest that despite the singer's efforts to make the relationship work, something was inherently wrong and it has now fallen apart.
The first verse conveys a sense of wanting something deeply but also feeling afraid. The singer's use of the phrase "everyday nightmares" suggests a constant struggle or anxiety, and the uncertainty about the relationship only adds to those feelings. The second verse expresses the singer's love for their partner, as well as their efforts to improve themselves for the sake of the relationship. However, despite their efforts, they are left questioning whether they have truly experienced love or if it was something else entirely.
The final verse raises questions about who the singer is and how much they have given to this relationship. They question the damage that has been done and wonder if they will ever truly be themselves again. The chorus brings the song back to the central theme of seeking clarity and understanding, and expressing a desire for honesty in the relationship.
