Jennifer Chung - How Do I Tell You? lyrics

rate me

I see it in her eyes

The watery glows from the tears she's cried

Yet I know she's strong because she tries to hide them

I tell her that everything will be okay

'Cause I've been praying everyday

All you gotta do is have some faith

Mama, don't you see

It's not as bad as it may seem?

Mama, it's all right

Everyday proves

Yesterday was worth the fight

We had to go through the dark to see the light

She sacrificed for family

Mama, Joe, and me; us three

Her health, well-being was all put on the line

Others judged, they did not know

What all went on within our home

They'd rather go by rumors and closed eyes

Mama, don't you see

It's not as bad as it may seem?

Mama, it's gon' be just fine

It's easier to live as one who's happily blind

But you and I know what lies down deep inside

How do I tell you?

How do I express

That all we had to go through is so much more than memory's mess?

How do I tell you

How much I adore you?

What hasn't killed us yet built up shields to make us this strong

How do I tell you

How you've done right this long?

There's no need to be sorry

There is nothing you've done wrong

Your love is evident through scars, through tears, and now this song
