Olivia Lukes - motherly instinct Lyrics

I have motherly instincts, need someone to hold
Lips too bare in September, too dull for your shade of gold
Remember warmth in my hands
I gift kinds of love I don't own
I need motherly instincts, blur out half of me that you've sewn

Live to laugh and take away
Simplicity, your protégée
Comfort I knew months ago
Sing little songs on my guitar
Convince myself that love is hard
Or maybe I'm just hard to love

Put trust in every person, take care, please safely get home
I save handwritten letters, pretend the gifts are my own
Savor every touch that I'm given, remember the voice
Search for validation, cry over your choice
Mom braids my hair every morning, children of her own
I have no babies to cradle, yet all my energy's worn

Live to laugh and take away
Simplicity, your protégée
Comfort I knew months ago
Sing little songs on my guitar
Convince myself that love is hard
Or maybe I'm just hard to love

Take the weight off my back
Take the weight off my back
Take the weight off my back
Take the weight off my back
