[Verse 1]Never gonna know youThe way that I want toI'll never see you in the wildYou're never gonna see me throughThe same eyes my friends doLooking in from the outside[Chorus]Don't want her to changePick apart, or rearrange herOh, I just wish my own mother wasLess of a stranger[Verse 2]Ever since I left your bodyBeen a breathless fast swimmerSlow on the sand"Will the race bend back home?"You said you hate being aloneDid you forget the starting gun was in your hand?[Chorus]Don't want her to changeShe's always been the entertainerOh, I just wish my own mother wasLess of a stranger[Verse 3]When I look into the mirrorI see my father, when I close my eyesI see youWhen you look into the mirrorDoes your father appear?Eyes closed, do you see your mother too?[Chorus]Sometimes I wonder, do I intimidate her?Do my questions and my painTake like skin to a razor?Don't want her to changeOr feel bad for life's remainderOh, I just wish my own mother wasLess of a stranger
