To My Parents

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 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
 Cradled me in your right and 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 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 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 trying to figure it out
 Putting 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 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 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 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
