Anna Clendening - To My Parents Lyrics
[00:10.41] I'm sorry mom and dad
[00:12.67] I know I've messed up bad
[00:15.65] I should've, should've done, should've done better
[00:21.14] I'm sorry mom and dad
[00:23.89] For all the time I had
[00:27.64] To get my life, to get my life together
[00:31.40] But I didn't
[00:33.40] 1993
[00:34.65] You gave birth to me
[00:36.39] Sweet little baby girl
[00:37.90] Had the world at my feet
[00:39.64] Before I could even stand
[00:45.89] Cradled me in your right and your left hand
[00:47.62] A precious bundle of un-made plans
[00:50.37] Hopes and dreams of bigger things
[00:53.14] A bright future
[00:54.64] So it seemed
[00:56.12] But that light grew a little less bright
[00:58.12] As I grew up and we began to fight
[01:00.87] When I was 13
[01:02.37] I was so damn mean
[01:03.87] Running away
[01:04.62] Had nothing more to say
[01:06.38] Than "I hate you"
[01:08.63] But that's not true now
[01:12.62] I just don't, I just don't, I just don't know how
[01:16.62] To say
[01:17.62] I'm sorry mom and dad
[01:20.12] I know I've messed up bad
[01:22.87] I should've, should've done, should've done better
[01:28.12] I'm sorry mom and dad
[01:31.12] For all the time I had
[01:35.12] To get my life, to get my life together
[01:38.62] But I didn't
[01:40.62] You never talk about me to your friends
[01:46.87] Because you must be so embarrassed
[01:51.38] I dropped out of college without any plans
[01:53.89] Moved back home, I couldn't even pay rent
[01:56.37] I was living on your couch
[01:58.37] Trying to figure it out
[01:59.88] Cutting myself up
[02:01.37] Tearing myself down
[02:04.64] I'm sorry mom and dad
[02:06.89] I know I've messed up bad
[02:09.63] I should've, should've done, should've done better
[02:15.42] I'm sorry mom and dad
[02:17.88] For all the time I had
[02:21.65] To get my life, to get my life together
[02:25.37] But I didn't
[02:28.12] I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
[02:33.87] Or take care of all your medical bills
[02:39.63] I know I didn't make you proud
[02:42.37] I should've been someone by now
[02:44.87] But I never figured out how
[02:50.62] I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
[02:56.12] Or take care of all your medical bills
[03:01.62] I know I didn't make you proud
[03:04.38] I should've been someone by now
[03:07.37] But I never figured out how
[03:13.83] I'm sorry mom and dad
[03:14.53] I know I've messed up bad
[03:16.31] I should've, should've done, should've done better
[03:21.53] I'm sorry mom and dad
[03:24.53] For all the time I had
[03:28.04] To get my life, to get my life together
[03:33.04] I'm sorry mom and dad
[03:35.53] I know I've messed up bad
[03:38.28] I should've, should've done, should've done better
[03:43.53] I'm sorry mom and dad
[03:46.79] For all the time I had
[03:50.56] To get my life, to get my life together
[03:54.81] But I didn't
[03:57.78] Sincerely, your daughter
