Mama Said
Citizen Deep Lyrics

You are like a demon
Comparing you to a demon, the way you behave is as bad and harmful as a demon's. It's not a compliment.

It's crazy but I see it
Despite the craziness of it all, I can see how toxic you are for me.

It took me time to realise
It wasn't easy, but I eventually came to the realization that we are not good for each other.

That we are even
To be on par with each other, in a balanced and healthy relationship, we must give and receive reciprocally.

I've always been dream chasing
I've always been pursuing my dreams, my goals, and my aspirations.

You're the one that told me it's wasting
You were the one who discouraged me and made me believe that my dreams are a waste of time.

Wasting your time baby
As you called me 'baby', you were telling me that I was wasting my time chasing my dreams and not investing in our relationship.

You could be doing something
You suggested that I should be doing something else, rather than chasing my dreams, but you never specified what that 'something' is.

Like a thief in the night
As quietly as a thief steals objects, you took advantage of me and our relationship, stealing what wasn't yours to take.

Taking what isn't yours
You deliberately took what wasn't yours, without permission, just like a thief would. You had no right to take what wasn't yours.

And now my heart is shattered
My heart is broken and destroyed, as you crushed my hope, my dreams, and my love for you.

Guess my mama told me so
I knew all along, but I didn't want to believe it. My mother warned me about you, but I chose to ignore her.

You're not good for me
You're not the right person for me. Being with you is not healthy, nor beneficial to my well-being.

In my mind, in my heart I see
I know deep down inside, that you're not the one for me. My mind and my heart are in agreement about this.

You were like a fire
You were like a blazing, destructive fire that consumed everything in your path, including me.

Burning all that you desire
You were so consumed with your own desires, that you didn't care who and what got destroyed in the process. It was all about you.

There was no stone unturned
You left no stone unturned in your pursuit of your desires, no matter how damaging it was to others.

Even my heart got burnt
You didn't just burn the bridges between us, you scorched my heart along with it.

Mama, please pray for me
I need my mother's prayers and blessings, as I try to heal and move on from the hurt and pain you caused me.
