I'm sober now My head ain't stuck in a smoke cloud I'm smart now But I still feel like I'm dumb
I know now Right from wrong But I been dead for so long that I'm still numb
What stings the most Are talks with my mother over coffee She reminds me Of all the things I used to do
She tells me Prima, you're really good with your hands... Remember when you used to paint and fix things?
I stay silent because I know I know I used to be so much more I've finally grown up enough to come out my shell And explain to her all the drugs I did killed my inner self
She tells me Prima, you used to sing so good... Maybe you should go back to that it was therapy to you, I tell her I don't do that anymore.. I don't have time But I know I lie
I'm sober now And I feel myself coming back to life Yet there is still a part of me that dies I don't feel things like I used to do before
Before the drugs Before twisted love Before this thing they call growing up
What stings to me the most Is the things my mother knows The things that I forgot that I can do That most girls dont
She says to me Prima, didn't you used to dance with a hula hoop? I said.. I stopped doing that because I got so skinny from the withdrawals that it hurts
My mother she reminds me of all the things I forgot that I could do Like outsmart the cops, fix my car, and create things with these broken hands I own
