I Don't Want To Be Your Mother
I don't want to be your mother
There's two sides to each other
You gotta meet me halfway
Won't you let me be your lover?
Don't be no lone survivor
I'm not going anywhere
I'm just trying to tell you how I feel
This one-sided love affair
How do I get the man in you to see
I'm so much more than the mother in me
I don't want to be your savior
Forgive your bad behavior
You gotta meet me halfway
'Cause there's so much to discover
Don't be no lone survivor
I won't leave you in the cold
I'll be standing right beside you
When you're feeling all alone
The only way to set yourself free
Is letting go of the savior in me
Baby, don't you shut me out
Baby, don't shut down on me
I'm not going anywhere
I'm not going anywhere
I only want to bring you back to me
Baby, please don't shut me down
Time won't bring me back to you
I'd be lying to myself
I'd be lying to myself
And that's the only thing I cannot do

Heavyweight - Rachael Yamagata
You think you are such a heavy weight. It don't mean nothing.
At the end of the day there is not a thing here left to break.
I won't feel nothing.
There is nothing you could say to make me feel like I should walk away.
I'll help you bear your heavy weight.
You can take your anger out on me.
Oh what's it matter, if my hope gets shattered.
I will love you through all your mistakes.
I'll carry you, your heavy weight.
No matter what you do.
No matter what you say.
Your pulling punches.
Your pulling punches.
Hit below the belt.
You give yourself away.
I'm pulling for you.
I'm pulling for you.
Such a losing fight, oh baby, don't give up tonight.
Better be ok.
You think you are such a heavy weight.
But I'm sure of something.
You don't have to be afraid to cry.
Just show me what you got inside.
I can be a place to hide.
If you just release your pride.
Win or lose I'm by your side.
Give up your heavy weight tonight.
