When I was little my dad left and my mom became an alcoholic. We lived in a trailer, all she ever did was lay there alone. She was my best friend I love her more than anything even though she neglected me. When I was 11-13 I was homeless because she went to Hawaii and was homeless there without me. When she came back we finally had a home together, but then she let a man in his 20’s get me pregnant and I moved in with him because she was homeless again. I didn’t make it through middle school. All I ever wanted was my mom. Through the pregnancy and marriage all alone, all I ever wanted was my mom. We both recently got addicted to fentanyl together, and I’ve become clean and she hasn’t. But still, all I ever want is my mom. I moved her in with me because she got cancer, and all she did was emotionally and mentally abuse me. I ran away from her and got my own place, and still all I want is my mom.
This song gets to the core and deepest depths of my heart and smashes the inside od my heart and makes me throw it out. This song is my favorite.my heart aces for this song knowing its gonna get ruined
I know this song is about actual crack babies, but I've always interpreted it as someone who has only ever experienced love conditionally trying to satisfy their need to feel wanted and appreciated. At least, that's what it feels like to me, as someone who has only received love and praise conditionally throughout my childhood.
