One Thing I Know

Mamma keep my mind at bay
Mamma keep my heart from stray
Il'll catch my breath and be on my way
I'll remember to keep my head on straight

But anyway it's not sane
But i'll try my best

Mamma going that road
I saw myself I know I'm sure
It was mammas beads all down on my chest
It was mammas prayers each time I stayed

In a rage its not safe
but I'll try my best

Mamma babe I'm lost at sea
Mamma keep your eyes on me
Cuz Mammas seen the things I've been
Mamma won't you cradle me

Cuz I'm not raised
just a phase
but I'll try my best

Mamma tell my little girl
I tried my best in this world
Mamma tell my little son
I tried my best in all I've done
but anyway
it's ok
I'll try my best

Try My Best - James and Unamae

Wasted my imagination on you
Dreaming dreams that could never be true
Please remove this mess of paint
You've spilled upon this brand new page

Now your in the corner 
making bracelets 
out of tinfoil wrappers..
and Im in the basement 
watching the paper fall down like feathers
and I know
I know

All the colours bled
Down the path that you once led
and the words you said
have been misread in my head and
All the colours bled
Down the path you once led
and the words that you said
have been misread
in my head
again and again....

All the stars are falling out of the sky
Looking for your dreams and wondering why
There isn't anything in sight
where are you oh tonight

And your in the corner playing games
and thinking that I don't notice
and Im in the basement
watching the lies all fall down on the flowers
and I know
I know

All the colours bled
Down the path that you once led
and the words that you said
have been misread 
in my head and
All the colours bled
down the path you once led
and the words that you said
have been misread
In my head
again and again
