Intro

Verse 1

Mama she has taught me well

Told me when I was young

Son your life's an open book

Don't close it before it's done

The brightest flame burns quickest

Thats what I heard her say

The son's heart's owed to mother

But I must find my way

Chorus

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama let my heart go

Or let this heart be still.

Instrumental

Verse 2

Rebel, my new last name

Wild blood in my veins

Apron strings around my neck

The mark that still remains

Left home at an early age

of what I heard was wrong

I never asked forgiveness

But what I said is done

Chorus

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama let my heart go

Or let this heart be still.

Bridge

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still.

Verse 3

Mama now I'm coming home

I'm not all you wished of me

A mother's love for her son

Unspoken, help me be

yeah I took your love for granted

and all the things you said to me

I need your arms to welcome me

That cold stone's all I see

Chorus

Let my heart go

Let your son grow

Mama let my heart go

Or let this heart be still.

Let my heart go

Mama let my heart go

You never let my heart go

Mama let this heart be still.

Bridge

(solo over Dm G C F twice)

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

Never I asked of you

but never I gave

But you gave me your emptiness

I now take to my grave

So let this heart be still.
