In your absence

_Verse 1_

In darkness, I see your face

A love so strong, a heart that's lost its place

I'd give my life to turn back time

But fate's cruel hand has left me with this rhyme

_Chorus_

Oh, Mama, I'm dying inside

My heart is shattered, my soul can't hide

I'm trapped in grief, crying every night

Longing for your presence, but it's just not right

_Verse 2_

You prayed against untimely death

But it came for you, and left me with this breath

What's the point of living, without you by my side?

Every day's a struggle, every night's a lonely ride

_Chorus_

Oh, Mama, I'm dying inside

My heart is shattered, my soul can't hide

I'm trapped in grief, crying every night

Longing for your presence, but it's just not right

_Bridge_

Memories of you, they haunt me still

A bittersweet reminder, of the pain I must fulfill

I'm searching for solace, but it's hard to find

Living without you, Mama, is a burden on my mind

_Chorus_

Oh, Mama, I'm dying inside

My heart is shattered, my soul can't hide

I'm trapped in grief, crying every night

Longing for your presence, but it's just not right
