about

A mother describes the guilt brought on by love. Wanting to break yourself into pieces just to be enough for your children. Hux's song.

lyrics

There are some things I cannot do:
A French braid, the moonwalk, certain verses of certain songs,
Lists of words that I seem to always get wrong,
But this I know:
I will always be good to you.

As sure as winter will bring us snow,
As sun follows rain, and light after dark and round again,
As dyed in the wool as my mother's love for me,
This is in my bones:
I will always be good to you

From the moment
That we met,
I am broken in two,
Unable to be for you
Whom I want to,
But that part of me
That's part of you
Will always be my best.

I have faults I hope you'll forgive
Impatience and mood swings, my selfish love of pretty things,
Too many nights away and far too many sings,
But from today,
I will always be good to you.

From the moment
That we met,
I am broken in two,
Unable to be for you
Whom I want to,
But that part of me
That's part of you
Will always be my best.

I have faults I hope you'll forgive
Impatience and mood swings, my selfish love of pretty things,
Too many nights away and far too many sings,
But from today,
I will always be good to you.
