To My Parents

(Chorus)
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I know I messed up bad
I 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 1)
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 or 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 don't know, I don't know
I don't know how to say
(Chorus)
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, get my life together
But I didn't
(Verse 2)
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
Cutting myself up and tearing myself down
(Chorus)
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, get my life together
But I didn't
(Bridge)
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you
That house upon a hill
Or take care of your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by know
But I never figured out how
L'm sorry that I couldn't buy you
That house upon a hill
Or take care of your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by know
But I never figured out how
(Chorus)
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, get my life together
(Outro)
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've done, should've done better
I'm sorry Mom and Dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, get my life together
But I didn't
Sincerely, your daughter
