Nova jean is whining, and she won’t stop And bee just bit her, And mommy’s explaining that it’s wrong And Mommy just called Danny and Danny doesn’t have much to say Because ever since bee’s dad left, Mom hasn’t been the same. She just wants to numb the pain And the healings on the way. And the battles are the same Every single day And she fights them in the wrong way. Mommy’s staying up late To drown out the pain. Cuz mommy’s feeling blue, And mommy’s hooked on blues. Yeah mommy’s got the blues. And mommy’s hooked on blues And she wakes up in the morning and Daddy’s on the way And even though he helps it, It’s a battle every day. She lies about the pain She lies cuz she’s ashamed And healings on the way. the kids just wanna play. Shes just getting through the day. She swears it’s just a phase Cleaning as she goes It’s a rule, and she knows And Daddy’s doing what he can Hes mr. Fix-it, he’s the man. Yeah daddy’s doing what he can. But her blues aren’t in the plans. She wouldn’t blame him if he ran He’s painting out the shade of blue She swears it’s only two But she’s hiding a few And he already knew Because mommy’s colored blue And nova just pushed bee And bee just wants to be Shes scared of what they see But she just wants to sleep While Danny’s at school all day Mommy’s counting out the days she’s lost too many days Mommy’s stuck in her ways And mommy’s so ashamed Danny won’t be the same. She prays he wont curse her name. For losing all the days, Losing days to pain. While the kids just wanna play she’s just getting through the day. So Mommy stays up late And drowns out all the pain. Cuz mommy’s feeling blue And mommy’s hooked on blues. Yeah mommy’s got the blues. She paints her days with the blues Soothing her pain with the blues Mommy wants to break the cycle. She’s too busy getting high though. And she’s gotten out before now But she’s losing all the help that’s helped out Nana and Papa doin all they can They pulled her out before but she still chooses to drown Drowning in the blues Yeah mommy’s hooked on blues Yeah mommy’s got the blues. And mommy’s hooked on blues
