[Verse 1]
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
[Verse 2]
And everybody says that I've been manic
I think they might be right, but I still manage
Lately, I've been so annoyed
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
Now I'm standing here doing lines in the bathroom
I hate myself, but I felt like I had to
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
[Verse 2]
And everybody says that I've been manic
I think they might be right, but I still manage
Lately, I've been so annoyed
'Cause they think that I'm just paranoid
[Pre-Chorus]
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
[Bridge]
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
Be like this
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
(Ooh) I've been hiding pain that's underneath
And I've been up so long, I'm scared to sleep
And if something were to happen to me
Can someone please
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
[Bridge]
I've been thinkin' that life's too short
So many friends got their life cut short
And I remember when I said I'd never be like this
Be like this
[Chorus]
Tell my mama that I love her
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under
Tell my mama that I love her (Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah)
And I'm sorry for the pain, sorry for the pain
That I caused her when I was younger
All the stress I put her under

What did Lauv say about "Tell My Mama"?
Genius Answer
I reference things, drugs and whatever. I think the way that I sing about it, I listen back and I’m like, ‘All right, it’s a little f**kboy.’ Somebody might take it as if you’re bragging about it or something like that.
