Mother tongue

I speak that language

There are no words

But there is meaning

My secret love song

My eyes swell
Am G
I’m free

Mother tongue

Never betrayed me
Am
Inhale your life

One more breath
I’m dancing
Am
Lacking wings still
G Am
I can fly from you
Am
I could lose everything
F G
Surrendering to you
Am
Like praying to a god above
F G
Who doesn’t even want to know you
Am
Mother tongue

Today I curse you
Am
Where’s my voice
G
Have I lost my virtue
Am G
How much more can I sacrifice for you
Am
I could lose everything
F G
Surrendering to you
Am
Like praying to a god above
F G Am
Who doesn’t even want to know you
Am
Down on my knees for you

Your hands crawling through my hair

I forgot to be cautious here
G Am F G
Finally I cry I cry
Am
I could lose everything

Surrendering

Like praying to a god
F G
Who doesn’t even want to know you
