Mom please say the words

In a million ways
I can see you love me
In a million ways
You show me that you care
But sometimes what you say
Makes me feel a disappointment
Your words cut deep into my soul
They make new wounds in me

I know you love me
I see it every day
But it doesn’t matter what you do
All I feel is a disappointment
Please say the words
Please tell me how proud you are of me
I just want to hear it once
I just want to hear you say it
All I want is to feel the love you already have
And not the disappointment
That makes me feel like am not enough

Please say the words
I am proud of you
They will make me feel the love
That you already have
And not the disappointment
That I already feel
