Mom + Dad

Why don't you say I'm sorry?
Why can't you swallow your pride?
Why do you spend so much time wishing you could leave it all behind?
When you could just pick up the phone
Don't you know
Your mom forgives you for all the tears you made her cry
She forgave the girl you wish you hadn't hid behind
Your world she traveled even when you unraveled
She left her own behind
Your dad loves you even though you pushed him to the side
His best intentions never measured up to other guys
It still hurts him but he says you worth it all those long hard sleepless nights
Why can't you see you're human?
Why can't you see that you're loved?
Why do you spend so much time wishing you could leave it all behind?
When you could just let go
Don't you know
Your mom forgives you for all the tears you made her cry
She forgave the girl you wish you hadn't hid behind
Your world she traveled even when you unraveled
She left her own behind
Your dad loves you even though you pushed him to the side
His best intentions never measured up to other guys
It still hurts him but he says you worth it all those long hard sleepless nights, nights
Oh why can't I do it?
Let go of this weight wrapped round my chest
Oh why can't I do it?
Get out of this cage I call regret
It doesn't define me, they remind me
Oh they saw right through it, so why can't I do it?
Your mom forgives you for all the tears you made her cry
She forgave the girl you wish you hadn't hid behind
Your world she traveled even when you unraveled
She left her own behind
Your dad loves you even though you pushed him to the side
His best intentions never measured up to other guys
It still hurts him but he says you worth it all those long hard sleepless nights, nights
