My Favorite Songs

To My Parents by Anna Cleneding

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mum 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 in my feet

Before I could even stand

Cradle me in your right and left hand
Precious bundle of unmade plans Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future so it seemed
But that light grew a little less bright As I grew 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 know how to say

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum 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 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 Putting myself up and tearing myself down

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum 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 mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad I should've, should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry mum and dad, for all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together,
But I didn't

Sincerely your daugther
