Mama Said Lyrics - Metallica

1 Mama, she has taught me well

2 Told me when I was young

3 "Son, your life's an open book

4 Don't close it 'fore its done

5 The brightest flame burns quickest."

6 That's what I heard her say

7 A son's heart's sewed to mother

8 But I must find my way

9 Let my heart go

10 Let your son grow

11 Mama, let my heart go

12 Or let this heart be still

13 Yeah, still

14 Rebel, my new last name

15 Wild blood in my veins

16 Apron strings around my neck

17 The mark that still remains

18 I left home at an early age

19 Of what I heard was wrong

20 I never asked forgiveness

21 But what I said is done

22 Let my heart go

23 Let your son grow

24 Mama, let my heart go

25 Or let this heart be still

26 Never I ask of you

27 But never I gave

28 But you gave me your emptiness

29 That I'll take to my grave

30 Never I ask of you

31 But never I gave

32 But you gave me your emptiness

33 That I'll take to my grave

34 So let this heart be still

35 Mama, now I'm coming home

36 I'm not all you wished of me

37 But a mother's love for her son

38 Unspoken, help me be

39 Yeah, I took your love for granted

40 And all the things you said to me, yeah, yeah

41 I need your arms to welcome me

42 But a cold stone's all I see

43 Let my heart go

44 Let your son grow

45 Mama, let my heart go

46 Or let this heart be still

47 Let my heart go

48 Mama, let my heart go

49 You never let my heart go

50 So let this heart be still

51 Oh-whoa

52 Never I ask of you

53 But never I gave

54 But you gave me your emptiness

55 That I'll take to my grave

56 Never I ask of you

57 But never I gave

58 But you gave me your emptiness

59 That I'll take to my grave

60 So let this heart be still
