Hey Ma - Josh Radnor

Hey ma

I’m only dying

And I’m asking for your help help help

Hey ma

I can’t stop crying

It’s fragile my mental health health health

Hey ma

Are you there now

Why am I

Still calling your name name name

Hey ma

It’s unfair now

Cause both of us are too old for blame blame blame

And if I’m longing to save my soul

Do I turn to silence or rock and roll

Never been a fan of the preacher man

He’ll take all my money and say amen

I drank whiskey try to soothe the pain

Injected women into my veins

Sat lik a lump in front of each locked door

Ended up wors off than I was before

Hey ma

I’m not quite bleeding

But I can’t get out the door door door

Hey ma

I’m barely breathing

My forehead won’t leave the floor floor floor

Hey ma

Why didn’t you hold me

Or maybe you held me too long long long

Hey ma

Why’d you scold me

Instead of telling me I belonged longed longed

Walking away thought I would win the plaque

But Like Orpheus and Lot’s wife I looked back

Not every sin of mine gonna be absolved

Not every single chord needs to be resolved

I drank whiskey try to soothe the pain

Injected women into my veins

Sat like a lump in front of each locked door

Ended up worse off than I was before

And no

I didn’t know

I still don’t know

Hey Ma
