Lyrics Hey Ma - Josh Radnor

Hey Ma

Hey ma
I’m only dying
And I’m asking for your help help help
Hey ma
I can’t stop crying
It’s fragile my mental health health health
Hey ma
Are you there now
Why am I
Still calling your name name name
Hey ma
It’s unfair now
Cause both of us are too old for blame blame blame
And if I’m longing to save my soul
Do I turn to silence or rock and roll
Never been a fan of the preacher man
He’ll take all my money and say amen
I drank whiskey try to soothe the pain
Injected women into my veins
Sat lik a lump in front of each locked door
Ended up wors off than I was before
Hey ma
I’m not quite bleeding
But I can’t get out the door door door
Hey ma
I’m barely breathing
My forehead won’t leave the floor floor floor
Hey ma
Why didn’t you hold me
Or maybe you held me too long long long
Hey ma
Why’d you scold me
Instead of telling me I belonged longed longed
Walking away thought I would win the plaque
But Like Orpheus and Lot’s wife I looked back
Not every sin of mine gonna be absolved
Not every single chord needs to be resolved
I drank whiskey try to soothe the pain
Injected women into my veins
Sat like a lump in front of each locked door
Ended up worse off than I was before
And no
I didn’t know
I still don’t know
Hey Ma
