[Verse 1]
Mum
You sip your tea
Say my name like a soft apology
Skin like paper
Mine like bark
We both laugh
But it still leaves marks
You say
"Baby
I was young
Chasing shots instead of someone"
I stir sugar till it spins
Ask
"Is that where my story begins?"
[Chorus]
That was one epic party
At least that’s how the legend goes
You say
"Be glad you don’t bark
Babe"
Like that explains a ghost I never chose
We joke till the room gets quiet
Punchline hiding in the dark
Epic party
Messy heart
And I’m just glad I don’t bark
[Verse 2]
You point at strangers in old photos
"Could be him
" like it’s a game show
Different noses
Different eyes
Every smile a little lie
I’m the question in the family frame
Wrong shade
Same last name
You change channels
Change your tone
Say
"You’re mine
And that’s enough to know"
[Chorus]
That was one epic party
At least that’s how the legend goes
You say
"Be glad you don’t bark
Babe"
Like that explains a ghost I never chose
We joke till the room gets quiet
Punchline hiding in the dark
Epic party
Messy heart
And I’m just glad I don’t bark
[Bridge]
Maybe I’m the afterglow
Of a night you barely know
Still I’m here
Still I shine
More than a rumor
More than a line
So pour the truth
Neat
In a chipped glass
Raise it high to the broken past
I’m the story you forgot to chart
But look at me
Mum
I’m the brightest part
