Sorry

About my mom…how I wish she was still here and about how I feel it’s my fault she's gone ...I love you mom
SORRY
I know everyone is tired of hearing this from me
But what can I say 2 make it all change to make it all go away
All I can say is sorry
Sorry I didn’t save you
Sorry I didn’t go, sorry I had 2 stay down here and watch you go away
I’m sorry prayer couldn’t make you stay
I’m sorry you felt the hurt and the pain
Sorry I couldn’t take the hits 4 you, sorry I’m telling your story but some 1 gotta hear it
Sorry for saying sorry
Sorry for not being there when you needed me near
Sorry I became a little queer
Sorry I became someone you’d never imagine me 2 be
I’m sorry I became me
Sorry I became an orphan
Sorry I don’t remember your voice or your scent
Sorry I remember the way things use to be, before you me and him and them
Sorry it can’t be like it use 2 be when it was just you and me
You was like a sister to me
So young, my mom, my heroine
Sorry I couldn’t stop you from taking that heroin
Sorry I couldn’t tell you coke was bad
Sorry I didn’t tell you not to take that meth
Sorry I didn’t tell you it would take your last breath
Sorry I didn’t save you
Sorry for august 3rd 1992
Sorry I was ever born 2 you
Sorry I fucked up your life
Sorry I didn’t save your life from
Every night you wanted to cry
Every night you wanted 2 die
Sorry I didn’t save you from life
