Lyrics of songs

To my parents by Anna Clendening

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad

I should've, I 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, I 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 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

putting myself up and tearing myself down

I'm sorry mum and dad, I know I messed up bad

I should've, I 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, I 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, I 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 daughter
