VERSE 1
You're far from perfect, Mom, you've done me wrong
You've cut me deep, it's been so long
Your words like scissors, sharp and cold
But there's a silver lining in the stories untold
PRE-CHORUS
When you take those shears, your hands so slight
You transform my worries, make it all feel right
I look just like the anchor on the nightly news
The one I grew up watching, in your living room blues
CHORUS
Oh, Mom, you're a paradox, a complicated art
You hurt me deeply but you style my heart
With every snip, you heal some pain
I guess in the end, it’s not all in vain
VERSE 2
You’ve got your issues, I’ve got mine too
Our love has bruises, black and blue
But every haircut, it's like a truce
I'm the kid on TV, thanks to you, let’s call a truce
PRE-CHORUS
When you take those shears, your hands so slight
You transform my worries, make it all feel right
I look just like the anchor on the nightly news
The one I grew up watching, in your living room blues
CHORUS
Oh, Mom, you're a paradox, a complicated art
You hurt me deeply but you style my heart
With every snip, you heal some pain
I guess in the end, it’s not all in vain
BRIDGE
Every cut a memory, every style a dream
You and me, Mom, we're not always what we seem
In your flawed perfection, I find some grace
Like a vintage show on the old TV place
OUTRO
So here’s to the anchor smiling through the screen
And here’s to you, Mom, for keeping me seen
Though we’re far from perfect, there’s a place to start
In your haircut artistry, you style a better part
Oh Mom, yeah, you style a better part
