Saccharine

I'm a freeloader, I never meant to be
You gave up your blood just in an attempt to make me happy
I'm sorry, Mom, for putting you through so much pain
For directing of all my anger onto your fragile brain

Life dealt you a full hand of straight Jokers
And you couldn't refuse them, you're losing, oh
You're like the female Job

You're losing yourself and your close kin
With illness 'pon illness and pills fail fulfillment
It's killing your children yet you're so resilient
Hell can't dim your brilliance, you've got stone resistance

You say, "it's fine
Because you're by my side
Saccharine son of mine"
It seems that lies comprise your mind
Because I'm a pain half the time

You say, "it's fine
Because you're by my side
Saccharine son of mine"
Though I'm a pain half the time

I'm sorry for the times that I appeared ungrateful
Please know and remember that I'll always be thankful
Even through all the times that I acted hateful
You still gave me love, support, and banknotes

If you hadn't been with me through all these years
I know for a fact I would've lost to my fears
I don't what I'd do today if you weren't here
So Mom, unlike Dad, please never disappear

You taught me all the ways to handle life
You've always been my refuge through the night
We're two musketeers fighting the good fight

You say, "it's fine
Because you're by my side
Saccharine son of mine"
It seems that lies comprise your mind
Because I'm a pain half the time

You say, "it's fine
Because you're by my side
Saccharine son of mine"
Though I'm a pain half the time

Oh, thank you so much
For everything you've done
My role model, my rock
You're what's keeping strong

As gorgeous as they come
Heart radiant as the sun
I love you so much, mom
