Eminem - Headlights
[00:17.92] Mom
[00:18.67] I know I let you down
[00:20.04] And though you say the days are happy
[00:20.29] Why is the power off, and I'm fucked up?
[00:21.53] And mom, I know he's not around
[00:24.27] But don't you place the blame on me
[00:24.77] As you pour yourself another drink and
[00:31.07] I guess we are who we are
[00:31.56] Headlights shining in the dark night, I drive on
[00:31.82] Maybe we took this too far
[00:32.55] I went in headfirst
[00:33.32] Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what verse
[00:34.82] My mom probably got it the worst
[00:35.31] The brunt of it, but as stubborn as we are
[00:35.82] Did I take it too far?
[00:36.56] Cleaning out my closet and all them other songs
[00:39.31] But regardless I don't hate you 'cause ma!
[00:41.06] You're still beautiful to me, cause you're my mom
[00:43.82] Though far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam
[00:46.81] Desert Storm and both of us put together
[00:49.57] Can form an atomic bomb equivalent to chemical warfare
[00:51.57] And forever we can drag this on and on
[00:53.82] But, agree to disagree
[00:56.06] That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me
[00:58.82] You're kicking me out? It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little prick just leave)
[01:03.31] Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, anything to have each other's goats
[01:07.06] Why we always at each others throats? Especially when dad, he fucked us both
[01:10.56] We're in the same fucking boat, you'd think that it'd make us close (nope)
[01:12.57] Further away that drove us, but together headlights shine, a car full of belongings
[01:16.81] Still got a ways to go, back to grandma's house it's straight up the road
[01:20.06] And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my shoulders carried the weight of the load
[01:23.57] Then Nate got taken away by the state at eight years old, and
[01:27.06] That's when I realized you were sick and it wasn't fixable or changeable
[01:30.31] And to this day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but
[01:33.81] I guess we are who we are
[01:37.32] Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[01:44.32] Maybe we took this too far
[01:50.56] 'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I hate it though
[01:56.31] 'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's growth
[01:59.56] But I'm sorry mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was angry
[02:03.31] Rightfully maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, 'cause
[02:06.31] Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making jokes
[02:09.31] That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio
[02:13.31] And I think of Nathan being placed in a home
[02:16.31] And all the medicine you fed us
[02:17.82] And how I just wanted you to taste your own, but
[02:19.56] Now the medications taken over and your mental states deteriorating slow
[02:27.38] And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's painful though
[02:27.65] But ma, I forgive you, so does Nathan yo
[02:28.13] All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us both
[02:33.13] Foster care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours
[02:35.38] But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, 'cause
[02:38.87] One thing I never asked was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was
[02:42.37] Fuck it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address
[02:45.63] But I'd have flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus
[02:48.88] Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas
[02:52.37] Someone ever moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's
[02:55.37] If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them
[02:58.65] And although one has met their grandma
[03:05.37] Once you pulled up in our drive one night as we were leaving to get some hamburgers
[03:08.12] Me, her and Nate, we introduced you, hugged you
[03:08.88] And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come over me
[03:11.88] As we pulled off to go our separate paths, and
[03:15.87] I saw your headlights as I looked back
[03:16.38] And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for being my Mom and my Dad
[03:19.14] So Mom, please accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet
[03:24.88] I guess I had to get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead
[03:27.88] The stewardess said to fasten my seat belt, I guess we're crashing
[03:31.38] So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you get this message that I'll always love you from afar
[03:37.12] 'Cause you're my mama
[03:39.63] I guess we are who we are
[03:41.63] Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[03:49.62] Maybe we took this too far
[03:56.88] I want a new life
[00:00.00] One without a cause
[00:00.00] So I'm coming home tonight
[00:00.00] Well no matter what the cost
[00:00.00] And if the plane goes down
[00:00.00] Or if the crew can't wake me up
[00:00.00] Just know that I was alright
[00:00.00] And I was not afraid to die
[00:00.00] Oh even if there's songs to sing
[00:00.00] My children will carry me
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm alright
[00:00.00] I was not afraid to die
[00:00.00] Because I put my faith in my new girl
[00:00.00] So I never say goodbye cruel world
[00:00.00] Just know that I'm alright
[00:00.00] I am not afraid to die
[00:00.00] I guess we are who we are
[00:00.00] Headlights shining in the dark night I drive on
[00:00.00] Maybe we took this too far, I want a new life
