Hey (lil) Mama (lemme whisper in your ear)

It's!!! the Warlock Dowling song!!! That got delayed because my gums swelled for a few days and also because my cats would pile on me because Nine Sick Must Pile Before They Disappear Again and I couldn't get to my PC for hours on end. 

This one's for everyone who writes Dowling angst because I live for that, and also because it keeps with the theme of yearning in my GO songs, although this one is yearning for parental acceptance. Tried to make it childish...ish...with hints of Aziraphale and Crowley influence.

Lyrics: 
Hey, Mama
I’m here again
Scraped my knees outside the garden shed
Dug deep into the earth
Found you something precious from the dirt

But you never look my way
And you never ask me, “How’s your day?”
And you never ever stay
And I never even hear you say:
“Hey, darling, I love you the way you are. Don’t change.”

When you see me, am I a disgrace?

Mama, I love you
But you make me feel bad
You make me so sad
It’s like you’re not glad
To see my face
And I don’t understand at all

Mom, where did I fall?

Hey, Papa
I’m here again
Left my tears on the sheets of my bed
Trying to see what I’m worth
If you love me underneath this hurt

Is it hard to ask of you
Is it hard to know you love me too?
Were you ever once just true?
You’re an actor fitting every mood
And really, I don’t know what you want me to do

Will I ever be perfect for you?

Papa, I love you
But you make me feel bad
You make me so sad
It’s like you’re not glad
To see my face
And I don’t understand at all

Dad, where did I fall?

What do you want from me?
Who do you want me to be?
Will I ever know what it takes
Just to earn my place?

Just what is wrong with me?
When you look, what do you see?
Here, I can be anything
Hey, I can be anything
Look, I can be anything

Please

Hey now
I’m right here again
Think I figured it out in the end
Now I know just what I’m worth
Found my laughter underneath the hurt

In the end, you looked away
But really, mama, it’s okay
In the end, I couldn’t stay
And I’m sorry that we’ve parted ways
But papa, promise that I’m happier today

Finally crawling out from the shame

I really love you
But you make me feel bad
It took me so long
To realize that
Despite this love
I don’t owe anything at all

So this curtain falls
