Dear mother,
I wrote this letter to apologize
But I had my reasons for leaving
And now as you read this letter
Perhaps you should have done better
I do not apologize for all the things I said
Nor as I raised a hand to strike you in fear
And as I was handcuffed and put in the car
There was no single sympathy, so I stand here
Wishing you'd forgive this hurting soul
Cause no teenager wants to know
They aren't wanted in this cold world
So call me up, ask me to come back home
I'd understand and smile, gladly accepting
Cause this heart won't admit but it's happy
To know that someone is waiting at home for me
Things are not the way, I realize that
So long ago we were a perfect family
But in time, it tested our love and left
Leaving us bruised and hurt, laughing
It told me to go home and just forget it
But I know deep down, I couldn't do that
Cause I made a mistake that I couldn't take back
And for that, I ask for forgiveness...
Just this once, I can only learn from my mistakes
It is my last breath, I want to hear I love you
It sounded so sweet before and I lay here
Listening to the sweet sounds
Knowing if I closed my eyes, it'd be the last
So forgive my stupidity.. I'm just a teenager
Goodbye mother... don't cry
From above the clouds I watch over you
Love,
Your son |
