I've lost count of all the days
I've been watching you forget
I felt tangled up and hopeless
But it hasn't killed me yet
I've been trying to remember all your memories
But I can't pretend
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
It's a long goodbye
It ain't so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath
You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
I've seen you standing in a room
Wondering what's inside your head
In a moment that existed in a time
That's long been spent
I'm gonna wrap my arms around the days
That you and I have left
'Cause it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
It's a long goodbye
It ain't so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath
You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
A long goodbye
It ain't so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath
You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
I've been watching you forget
I felt tangled up and hopeless
But it hasn't killed me yet
I've been trying to remember all your memories
But I can't pretend
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
It's a long goodbye
It ain't so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath
You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
I've seen you standing in a room
Wondering what's inside your head
In a moment that existed in a time
That's long been spent
I'm gonna wrap my arms around the days
That you and I have left
'Cause it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
That it's hard to be a mother to my mother
But it's like you always said
It's a long goodbye
It ain't so bad
A long goodbye
Is like a breath
You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had

You've got to wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
Wrap yourself inside
All the goodness that you've had
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
A long goodbye
It ain't the end
