[Chorus]
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
[Verse 1]
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
a precious bundle of unmade plans
hope and dreams of bigger things
a bright future
so it seems
but the 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
then 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 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
[Verse Two]
You never talk about me to your freinds
cause you must be so embarra**ed
I dropped out and 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 trying myself down.
[Chorus]
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 dad
to get my life
to get my life
together
but I didn’t
[Bridge]
Sorry 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
Sorry 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 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 daughter
