Folks
Let if off your chest
It's not the best advice
It's better than hiding
From words you wish to say
Who should pay the tab
Of all the times you told your folks
"I love you"
Cause you stopped
It's not their fault for losing control
It's not their fault for letting their baby leave
We're just growing up
Who's the fool who said goodnight
Drenched by the gentle glow of the night light
It was you, out of sight
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make you sad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make things bad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
Close the window, slam the door
So they'll know
The heat burning in
Did they make their one mistake
Will you let them know
Your bags are packed
Who are you to say
You would walk all alone
Ignore the destination (Please call home)
Will you hear their last goodbye
Won't they ask you why
"What's the problem?"
It's your life
It's not your fault, you're not too late
You still got a chance to say
"I love you, mom and dad"
So shoot your shot
Where's the ditch you'll reside
As they make one last cry
For their baby's loss
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make you sad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make things bad
Please forgive the sin of growing old (Big Chorus starts here)
I'm sorry for what I am
I'm sorry for what I can't
Please let me back into your home
I'm sorry for what I am
I'm sorry for what I can't
Please forgive me and forget
It's not the best advice
It's better than hiding
From words you wish to say
Who should pay the tab
Of all the times you told your folks
"I love you"
Cause you stopped
It's not their fault for losing control
It's not their fault for letting their baby leave
We're just growing up
Who's the fool who said goodnight
Drenched by the gentle glow of the night light
It was you, out of sight
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make you sad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make things bad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
Close the window, slam the door
So they'll know
The heat burning in
Did they make their one mistake
Will you let them know
Your bags are packed
Who are you to say
You would walk all alone
Ignore the destination (Please call home)
Will you hear their last goodbye
Won't they ask you why
"What's the problem?"
It's your life
It's not your fault, you're not too late
You still got a chance to say
"I love you, mom and dad"
So shoot your shot
Where's the ditch you'll reside
As they make one last cry
For their baby's loss
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make you sad
Please forgive the sin of growing old
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I didn't mean to make things bad
Please forgive the sin of growing old (Big Chorus starts here)
I'm sorry for what I am
I'm sorry for what I can't
Please let me back into your home
I'm sorry for what I am
I'm sorry for what I can't
Please forgive me and forget
