Terra Naomi - Suffer For Her Sins

When I was just a little girl
My mother said to me
Just before she tucked me into bed
As she leaned in close
I felt her lips upon my cheek
And softly these six words are what she said:
You’re gonna suffer for my sins
You’re gonna suffer for my sins
There is no escaping this
It comes from deep within
You’re gonna suffer for my sins

Predictably those cursed words
Did haunt me every day
No matter where
No matter what I hid
I spend my years believing
That there was no other way
But suffering
And suffering’s what I did

Oh yes, I suffered for her sins
That’s right I suffered for her sins
There was no escaping this
It comes from deep within
And so I suffered for her sins

Thirty years have passed
Since Mama brought be to this world
That’s thirty years
Spent trapped inside this shell
And nobody believes me
They think I’m a foolish girl
But there are many different kinds of hell

And so I suffer for her sins
That’s right I suffer for her sins
There is no escaping this
It comes from deep within
And so I suffer for her sins…
