Lyrics

To My Parents

Verse 1:

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
When I grew up 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;

Chorus:

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.

Verse 2:

You 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,
Trying to figure it out.

Cutting myself up,
Tearing myself down.

Chorus:

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.

Bridge:

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.

Chorus:

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 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.

Sincerely your, Daughter
