lyrics

Broken promises
Mama don’t you cry
Shattered dreams
Mama don’t you cry
Withered hopes
Mama don’t you cry
Cos shades of grey run by
When we stand high


There aint no summer without the scent of your rose

We need your beautiful colors to be whole

I hear you petals fall, covered in the dirt

It don’t matter how long they put you down

Restless hands, empty minds it aint your fault

So put your hands up high and watch them tumble down



Broken promises
Mama don’t you cry
Shattered dreams
Mama don’t you cry
Withered hopes
Mama don’t you cry
Cos shades of grey run by
When we stand high


Restless nights turn the days into nightmares

Scarlet tears down your face it breaks my heart

I hear your tears fall, drowning all the roses

There aint no room for rainy days

Battered hearts, trampled souls, there’s a way

So put your hands high and watch them tumble down



Broken promises
Mama don’t you cry
Shattered dreams
Mama don’t you cry
Withered hopes
Mama don’t you cry
Cos shades of grey run by
When we stand high
