Happy Home Lyrics - Singles - Paula Cole

I remember the pain in my mother's eyes 

I remember the pain of her compromise years ago 

I always wanted to help to make it go away 

I didn't know it was her freedom that she needed so 

And she said to me 

She said to me 

He hitch-hiked to Maine, we went cross-country 

I had to leave my home, I had to raise a family 

We did the best we could being so young 

We tried to hard to build a happy home 

I never knew what to say to anybody 

I didn't know what to do, I was far too young 

But everybody could feel the suffocation 

Underneath for facade of a happy home 

And she said to me 

She said to me 

Home sweet freedom 

Flowing in my eyes 

Home sweet freedom 

Flowing in my mind 

Sacrificed her dreams to motherhood 

Waiting and waiting to be understood fully 

Sacrificed her years to the family 

Waiting and waiting to be heard finally 

And she said to me 

She said to me
