Dear Mom...

yeah
it's such a shame
when someone you were born to love
isn't that person anymore

this one's for you
I love you,
but you gotta change

When you said that you would never change,
was it true
do it to save all we had
would you
how could you give up
how could you do that
why did you leave me
and when you come back
spending all your time with him
you can't even see me

selfish, what you is
how you mistreated your own kids
how could you do that
I know we don't talk now
how could you turn your back on me
now I'm walkin' out

cause I didn't do anything to hurt you
gave you the best that I can and it's true
(baby)
(I try and I still love you)
(I still love you, but)
I gotta move on with out you
I should've moved on from the pain that I felt
but I choose to love you, the shit that you had
(baby)
(I've learned to live without you)
(that's something, that is the truth)
it's better to live then love you
(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)
(yeah)
(you)(you)(you)(you)
it's better to live then love you
(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)
love you
(you)*

but if your leavin' is that what you can do to your baby
Cause I'm gunna' love you no matter what you were sayin'
how could you turn away
and forget those sunny days
but were they the sunny days
or was it the game you played

dressed up little doll, that you've torn, it's messed up
how can you be criticizing me when you fucked up
I never made you cry
I never told a lie
that's all you do to me
so what is you right about

cause I didn't do anything to hurt you
I gave you the best that I can and it's true
(baby)
(I try and I still love you)
(I still love you, but)
I gotta move on without you
I should've moved on from the pain that I felt
but I choose to love you, the shit that you had
(baby)
(I've learned to live without you)
(that's something, that is the truth)
it's better to live then love you
(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)(you)
it's better to live then love you
(you)(you)(you)(you)
love you
(you)* (oh)

was I the screw up and you were the best mom
I wasn't that perfect and you took the long road
the road is reversing
the tables are turning
I didn't deserve it
but thank god I'm learnin'

I can just imagine what you're doing doing with your days
smokin' all your cares away and having a play date
to bad I found out what you were really about
I know it's good to take but momma I gotta say

that I didn't do anything to hurt you
I gave you the best that I can and it's true
(baby)
(I try and I still love you)
(I still love you, but)
I gotta move on without you
I should've moved on from the pain that I felt
but I choose to love you, the shit that you had
(baby)
(I've learned to live without you)
(that's something, that is the truth)
it's better to live then love you

(arguement between Brooke and Linda, most is inaudable.
"dont come to me when you need help, im not helping you...
get your ass right out of my house")

Get outta my way
stressing me out
momma get outta my way
you and your man can go live at your place
(it's your life)
it's all this shit I can't take

cause I didn't do anything to hurt you
I gave you the best that I can and it's true
(baby)
(I try and I still love you)
(I still love you, but)
(ohh)
I gotta move on without you
(I gotta move on without you)
I should've moved on from the pain that I felt
but I choose to love you, the shit that you had
(baby)
(I've learned to live without you)
(that's something, that is the truth)
it's better to live then love you
