i'm sorry mom and dad
i know i messed up bad
i should've
should've done
should've done better
i'm sorry mom and dad
for all the times i had
to get my life
to get my life
together
but i didn't.
1993 you gave birth to me
sweet little baby girl
had the world in my feet
before i could even stand
cradle me in your right and left hand
a precious bundle of unmade plans
hope and dreams of bigger things
a bright future
so it seems
do but the light grew
a little less bright
as a grew up
and we began to fight
when i was 13
i was so damn mean
running away, had nothing more to say
than i hate you
but that's not true, now
i just don't, i just don't
i just don't know how
to say
i'm sorry mom and dad
i know i messed up bad
i should've
should've done
should've done better
i'm sorry mom and dad
for all the times i had
to get my life
to get my life
together
but i didn't.
you never talk about me to your friends
cause you must be so embarrassed
i dropped out of college
without any plans,
moved back home i couldn't even pay rent
i was living on your couch
trying to figure it out
cutting myself up
and tearing myself down
i'm sorry mom and dad
i know i messed up bad
i should've
should've done
should've done better
i'm sorry mom and dad
for all the times i had
to get my life
to get my life
together
but i didn't.
sorry i couldn't buy
that house upon the hill
or take care of all your medical bills
i know i didn't make you proud
i should been someone by now
but i never figured out how
sorry i couldn't buy
that house upon the hill
or take care of all your medical bills
i know i didn't make you proud
i should been someone by now
but i never figured out how
i'm sorry mum and dad
i know i messed up bad
i should've
should've done
should've done better
i'm sorry mum and dad
for all the times i had
to get my life
to get my life
together
i'm sorry mum and dad
i know i messed up bad
i should've
should've done
should've done better
i'm sorry mum and dad
for all the times i had
to get my life
to get my life
together
but i didn't.
sincerely, your daughter.
