my mum loved ths song so we let her hear it one last time at her funeral 💔

i have experience with this song because my uncle he lost the love of his life and he got so down he drank till the night he put that barrel to his mouth and ended his life

LYRICS:

[Verse]
Momma never knew the right way to keep a man,
But she knew how to holler with a bottle in her hand,
She taught me lovin' may be loud, but it hardly ever last's
If it's gonna end in flames, might as well just strike the match,

But momma had a way, her feelin's always changed,
A calm before every storm followed by the ragin' hurricane,
And i remember on the porch swing, she'd tell me "love is pain
Darlin' take a look at me, and don't you ever look away!"

[Chorus]
Cause
Sometimes I’m sunshine, sometimes I'm rain,
And somedays I love you, Then somedays i can't
I’ll beg you to stay, Just to push you away,
'Cause getting too close is all it'll really take...

For my heart to Break

[Verse]
I met a lady some years later after I was on my own,
She's lightning in a bottle at the center of a cyclone,
And I swore I saw forever when she whispered in that tone,
But forever turned to silence by the time the sun had shone.

Borderline just like momma, 'cept a box be kept her wine,
She’d hold me like a hero, then charge me like a crime,
Yeah the highs were the brightest heaven 'till the fire filled her eyes,
And she gave the same 'ole answer when i tried to ask her why,
She said

[Chorus]
Cause
Sometimes I’m sunshine, sometimes I'm rain,
And somedays I love you, Then somedays i can't
I’ll beg you to stay, Just to push you away,
'Cause getting too close is all it'll really take

For my heart to Break

[Bridge]
I know it’s not my fault, but I can’t stay and fight,
My hands are just too tired, from holding on so tight,
And storms may look different, but they circle back the same,
There’s only so much weather one man's heart is built to take,

[Chorus]
Cause
Sometimes you're sunshine, sometimes you're rain,
And somedays you love me, Then somedays You can't
You'll beg me to stay, Just to push me away,
'Cause getting too close is all it'll really take,

For your heart to Break
