Lyrics
[Verse 1]
He's got that smile, Mom, you know the one,
Lights up the dark like the morning sun.
You say he's trouble, he's not the one for me,
But Mommy, there's things in him you'll never see.
[Pre-Chorus]
He's like a mystery, a song unsung,
And when I'm with him, I feel so young.
I know you worry, but can't you understand?
I see a side of him that could be grand.
[Chorus]
But Mommy, I love him, can't you see?
I'm tangled up in what could be.
He's not perfect, but who really is?
In his eyes, I see a world of bliss.
[Verse 2]
You tell me stories of hearts broken wide,
How falling for the bad boy is a bumpy ride.
But he holds me close, says I'm his everything,
In his embrace, Mom, I feel like spring.
[Pre-Chorus]
He's a rebel, maybe, but also sweet,
When the world is heavy, he's my retreat.
I know you've been here and want to save me pain,
But with him, Mom, I dance in the rain.
[Chorus]
But Mommy, I love him, can't you see?
I'm caught up in his mystery.
He's flawed, yes, but aren't we all?
With him, I rise; I fear no fall.
[Instrumental Break]
[Bridge]
I wish you'd see the love he shows,
Hidden beneath the thorns of a rose.
He's learning to be better because of me,
Isn't that what love's supposed to be?
[Final Chorus]
But Mommy, I love him, he's my choice,
In the chaos, he's my voice.
It's him and me against the world,
Just a boy and a starry-eyed girl.
[Outro]
One day, Mom, I hope you'll see,
The good in him, like he sees in me.
Until then, just let me be,
Love is wild, and it won't cease.
