Everything Wrong Lyrics - Come Home To Mama - Martha Wainwright

I do most everything wrong 

Even on the day you were born 

My husband's been lying and cheating 

And I turn my cheek and reason 

I change my tune everyday 

There is one thing I want you to be 

That is smarter than me 

If things they don't seem right 

Open your wings and take flight 

Don't stick around to watch the pieces fall 

I don't want you to feel alone 

But you probably will when you are older 

I will try to stay alive 

To see as much through your eyes 

But one day you know I will go 

Don't listen too much to what I say 

Making sense has never been my way 

I can teach you 1-2-3 

I can dance with you on repeat 

I can hold your hand forever 

Na na na na na na 

I can do so much 

You can do so much more 

I am only a stepping stone 

For you to get where you must go 

And there is nothing I would rather be 

So put your weight on me 

Na na na na na na na oh 

I am your protector 

I am not your pretender 

I will try 

I will not lie 

I will not cry too much in front of you 

I have been really, really sad 

Except for having you with your dad
