Mother tongue

I speak that language

There are no words

My secret love song

My eyes swell
Am       G
I'm free

Mother tongue

Never betrayed me
Am
Inhale your life
G
One more breath

I'm dancing
Am
Lacking wings still

I can fly from you

Am
I could lose everything
F                         G
Surrendering to you

Like praying to a god above

Who doesn't even want to know you

Mother tongue
G
Today I curse you

Where's my voice
G
Have I lost my virtue
Am                                                 G
How much more can I sacrifice for you

I could lose everything

Down on my knees for you

Your hands crawling through my hair
G                     F
I forgot to be cautious here

Finally I cry I cry

I could lose everything
