I’m sorry mom and dad I know I’ve 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 Cradled me in your right and your 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 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’ve 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 Cutting myself up And tearing myself down
I’m sorry mom and dad I know I’ve 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 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
