Good Mother

You sing in the shower You sing in your sleep Fresh face and fresh coffee Like you have somewhere to be I'm covered in laundry And pink finger paint I miss being pretty Having something to say You wanted a family I wanted you to be happy So I'll start the supper Cause I'm a good mother They say it's the hardest Best thing they've ever done But if it's just hardest You can't tell anyone I count down to nap time I let her sleep late That's twenty less minutes She'll be calling my name I tell you I love it Cause what else do I say To stay undercover Cause I'm a good mother It's questions, and castles, and playing pretend She's dancing with monsters, and I'm one of them Yeah, I'm one of them She says, "you're the best mommy" When I tuck her in I smile and I kiss her Then I cry in my bed How can you love someone And wish them away? She won't have to wonder Cause I'm a good mother
