To My Parents
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 mum and dad, for all the time 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
Cradled me in your right and left hand
A precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future so it seemed
Oh, but that light grew a little less bright
As I grew 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 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 time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
You never talk about me to your friends
Because 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
Putting 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 mum and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you
That house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you
That house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
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 time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
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 mum and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
Sincerely your daughter
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 time 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

A precious bundle of unmade plans

I'm sorry mum and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
Sincerely your daughter
