Tonight, I Learned Something From Mom

by Dark Angel - Pisces

Mom opened up to me today
She said her love for Dad had never faded away
It would have been 24 years but they decided to stray
Tonight, I learned something from mom.

She told me that she had given him her heart
And loving someone like that doesn't end, it's where it all starts
But these past years without him has torn her apart
Tonight, I learned something from mom.

I realized what she said was true
And after some thinking, I realized my heart still belongs to you
I'm scared and frightened, not sure what to do
Tonight, I learned something from mom.

Mom went to bed, her light's still on, suppose she's writing a letter to dad
I didn't know that mom shared the same pain that I've had
And to see someone understand and cry over a guy like I do lets me know that I'm not alone, and I don't feel so bad
Tonight, I learned something from mom.

I know now, what I have to look forward to down the road
Regretting things left unsaid, feelings never showed
Growing older, handling life's given load
Tonight, I learned something from mom.

We'll both grow used to this feeling I'm sure
Now growing even closer together, more so than before
A man to give our hearts to, nevermore
Tonight, I learned something from mom.
