[Intro]
G Em C D
[Verse 1]
G To the mothers who aren't sleeping Em That are having trouble feeding C D Too afraid to say they're not okay
No, not at all
G To the mothers who feel empty Em That aren't sure they're even ready C To be alone and responsible D For somebody so small
[Chorus]
Em To the mothers who are lost C Pulled underneath the waves G Who need to cry for help D But are drowning in their shame Em To the mothers who are falling C And don't even make a sound G Who don't know that they're broken A Until they hit the ground C This one's for you D I've been there too G Em C D I've been there too
[Verse 2]
G To the mother that's at home Em Scrolling through her phone C Watching everybody else D Make family look easy Em To the mom with a career A7 Who can't take off a whole year C So she has to pay somebody else D To take care of her baby
[Chorus]
Em To the mothers who are lost C Pulled underneath the waves G Who need to cry for help D But are drowning in their shame Em To the mothers who are falling C And don't even make a sound G Who don't know that they're broken A Until they hit the ground C This one's for you D I've been there too
[Bridge]
Em Emmaj7 Em7 And one day you'll discover Em6 Going from a woman to a mother C D It might break you but it might save you
[Verse 3]
G To the mother in the mirror Em Who wishes she was thinner C 'Cause now her body isn't D Somebody that she knows G And to the mothers just like me Em Who fell apart so suddenly C I hope you realize D You're not alone C D This one's for you Em A This one's for you C D 'Cause I've been there too G I've been there too
