I'm Sorry Mom and Dad

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

1993, you gave birth to me
Sweet little baby girl, had the world at my feet
Before I could even stand
Cradle me in your right, in your left hand
A precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future, or so it seemed
Oh, but the light grew a little less bright
As I grew up 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, 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
Mm
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

Can never talk about me to your friends
Because you must be so embarassed
I dropped out of college without any plans
Moved back home, I couldn't even pay rent
I was living on your couch trynna figure it out
Cutting 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 mom 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 up on 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
Sincerely your daughter
