Life on Repeat

She was sweeter than an angel
Wide, trusting eyes always watching
Open-hearted, wistful, ready to be
Scarred by the jolting of reality

She's living her mama's life on repeat
Doing what she swore she'd never do
Go ahead, bend under the pressure, girl
Won't you ever be able to see?
You're living your mama's life on repeat

Wearing long sleeves in the summertime
Hating him with her disappointed heart
Never understanding her mama's blind eye
Digging deeper into herself as the years flew by

She's living her mama's life on repeat
Doing what she swore she'd never do
Go ahead, bend under the pressure, girl
Won't you ever be able to see?
You're living your mama's life on repeat

He wasn't like her daddy at all
Needy, striving, dying to fall
Not even the lights and siren's call
Clarified what was obvious to all

She's living her mama's life on repeat
Doing what she swore she'd never do
Go ahead, bend under the pressure, girl
Won't you ever be able to see?
You're living your mama's life on repeat

Girl, won't you ever be able to see?
That little boy will be you on repeat

She's living her mama's life on repeat
Doing what she swore she'd never do
Go ahead, bend under the pressure, girl
Won't you ever be able to see?
There is only One Way to stop the repeat
