โTold Me To Be Gratefulโ
Classic Country ยท FreeCustomSong Original
I never got the chance to stand and curl your hair
Or help you with your makeup in the mirror over there
They took those tender moments and they swept them all away
And left me with the "what-ifs" playing in my mind today
I dream about the milestones they made sure I wouldn't get
A mother's heavy sorrow that I never will forget
ChorusAmy and Raiesha, if you ever want the truth
Mummy's door is open, I am waiting here for you
Don't listen to the stories that they spun to feed their pride
They didn't care about the heart they broke here deep inside
The day they said you were adopted, my whole world gave way
I love you, and they stole my little girls that day
Verse 2You'll never find the papers, 'cause I never signed a thing
They forced you from my arms and took the joy you used to bring
Built on other people's lies and someone else's ego
They didn't give me half a chance, they just made you go
They left me with your baby sister, told me "be grateful"
How could anybody be so heartless and so hateful?
ChorusAmy and Raiesha, if you ever want the truth
Mummy's door is open, I am waiting here for you
Don't listen to the stories that they spun to feed their pride
They didn't care about the heart they broke here deep inside
The day they said you were adopted, my whole world gave way
I love you, and they stole my little girls that day
BridgeThings happened when you both were just babies back then
And I pray to God I get to hold my daughters once again
Those words, "just be grateful," still echo in my head
When I think about the cruel and bitter lies that you were fed
I need you both to know the truth of how it all went down
I'll be right here waiting when you come around
Final ChorusOh, Amy and Raiesha, if you ever want the truth
Mummy's door is open, I am waiting here for you
Don't listen to the stories that they spun to feed their pride
They didn't care about the heart they broke here deep inside
The day they said you were adopted, my whole world gave way
I love you, and I'll wait for you to come back home someday
