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 whole world at my feet
before I could even stand
Cradle me in your right and your left hand
A precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams, and bigger things and 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 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, tryna 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 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
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
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
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
Sincerely, your daughter
