Mom I know I let you And though you say the are happy Why is the off, and I'm fucked up? And mom, I know he's not But don't you place the on me As you pour another drink and
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the night, I drive on we took this too far
I went in Never thinking about who I said hurt, in what verse My mom got it the worst The of it, but as stubborn as we are Did I take it too Cleaning out my closet and all other songs But regardless I hate you 'cause ma! You're still beautiful to me, you're my mom far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam Desert and both of us put together Can form an atomic bomb equivalent to warfare And forever we can drag on and on But, to disagree That gift from me up the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me You're kicking me It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little prick just leave) Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, anything to have each other's Why we always at each others Especially when dad, he fucked us both We're in the same fucking boat, you'd think that it'd us close (nope) Further away that drove us, but together shine, a car full of belongings Still got a ways to go, back to grandma's it's straight up the road And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my carried the weight of the load Then got taken away by the state at eight years old, and That's when I realized you were sick and it fixable or changeable And to day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but
I we are who we are shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we this too far
'Cause to day we remain estranged and I hate it though 'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand growth But I'm mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was angry Rightfully maybe so, never that far to take it though, 'cause Now I know not your fault, and I'm not making jokes That I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio And I think of Nathan placed in a home And all the you fed us And how I just wanted you to taste own, but Now the medications taken over and your mental states slow And I'm way too old to cry, that painful though But ma, I forgive you, so does yo All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, One thing I never asked was where the my deadbeat dad was Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up every address But I'd flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus Own a of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas Someone ever moved from me? That you could bet your ass's If I had to come the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them And although one has met grandma Once you pulled up in our one night as we were leaving to get some hamburgers Me, her and Nate, we you, hugged you And as you left I had this sadness come over me As we pulled off to go our paths, and I saw your as I looked back And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for my Mom and my Dad So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote on the jet I I had to get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead The stewardess to fasten my seat belt, I guess we're crashing So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you get this message that I'll love you from afar you're my mama
