To Mum & Dad
Moved away last July
Escaped the rage of the man
Who made you his wife
I don't call you anymore to say goodnight
Oh I hope you're alright
Glad you're my mother
The best someone could have
I'm sorry for doing this to you and dad
You didn't ask for a child like this
But lucky enough you had twins
And a little boy who needs your care
When he grows up he'll need you there
Please promise me
That you won't forget
To take your medication
And look after yourself
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But mum, I don't deserve this life
Haven't spoken in six weeks
Know you're working lots of night shifts
I hope you're getting sleep
I don't ride my bike anymore
Might need new tyres but I'm not sure
Glad you're my father
The best I've ever known
I'm sorry for doing this to you and mum
You didn't ask for a child like this
But lucky enough mum had twins
And you've got two little girls from your new wife
Maybe they'll actually ride their bikes
Please promise me
That you won't forget
Don't drive when you're tired
Or turn back to cigarettes
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But dad, I don't deserve this life
You didn't ask for a child like this
Lucky enough God gave you twins
Make sure to take care of my sister
I know we've grown up but she still needs you
Please promise me
That you won't forget
To read the letters that I wrote
Take the money I never spent
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But mum and dad
I don't want to be alive
Escaped the rage of the man
Who made you his wife
I don't call you anymore to say goodnight
Oh I hope you're alright
Glad you're my mother
The best someone could have
I'm sorry for doing this to you and dad
You didn't ask for a child like this
But lucky enough you had twins
And a little boy who needs your care
When he grows up he'll need you there
Please promise me
That you won't forget
To take your medication
And look after yourself
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But mum, I don't deserve this life
Haven't spoken in six weeks
Know you're working lots of night shifts
I hope you're getting sleep
I don't ride my bike anymore
Might need new tyres but I'm not sure
Glad you're my father
The best I've ever known
I'm sorry for doing this to you and mum
You didn't ask for a child like this
But lucky enough mum had twins
And you've got two little girls from your new wife
Maybe they'll actually ride their bikes
Please promise me
That you won't forget
Don't drive when you're tired
Or turn back to cigarettes
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But dad, I don't deserve this life
You didn't ask for a child like this
Lucky enough God gave you twins
Make sure to take care of my sister
I know we've grown up but she still needs you
Please promise me

To read the letters that I wrote
Take the money I never spent
Thank you for the memories
And all you've sacrificed
But mum and dad
I don't want to be alive
