Edie Carey - Margaret lyrics

Hearing her voice 

was like hearing the future

So I covered my ears 

'cause I didn't want to hear her

And just the same her words 

come spilling out of my mouth


Looking at her is like 

looking in the mirror 

So I closed my eyes 

'cause I didn't want to see her

And just the same 

my body moves with hers


You see I wanted to go down where the water would wash it away

Where I could make my own tracks

You are your mother's daughter they say and I say

Tell me something I don't know


See she'd done some things 

I didn't want to repeat

So I thought if I closed her out 

I'd come away clean

So I told her my worries 

that I'd marry twice

And never learn to love right

And she said what you have learned from me is your self respect

What I hope you've learned is when to leave a burning building


You see I wanted to go down where the water would wash it away

Where I could make my own tracks

You are your mother's daughter they say and I say

Tell me something I don't know


So the card said 

'I have news for you

You aren't me and I'm not you 

Just 'cause we lose things

and we tell the truth

It doesn't mean anything

'Cause above all 

you have always been you'


Now I only hope

that one day I can fill her shoes 

And I'll be who I'll be 

by using her tools

She knew what would hurt her so she chose to move on

Life is too short, she said, to love Mr. Wrong

He's wrong


She wanted to go down where the water would wash it away

Where she could make 

her own tracks

You are your mother's daughter they say and I say

Now I say, I say thank you
