'Cause to this day we remain estranged and I it though 'Cause you ain't even get to witness your grand baby's But I'm mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was angry Rightfully so, never meant that far to take it though, 'cause Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not making That song I no longer play at and I cringe every time it's on the radio And I think of being placed in a home And all the you fed us And how I just you to taste your own, but Now the medications taken over and your mental deteriorating slow And I'm way too old to cry, that painful though But ma, I forgive you, so Nathan yo All you did, all you said, you did your to raise us both Foster care, cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours But I love you Debbie Mathers, oh a tangled web we have, 'cause One thing I never asked was where the my deadbeat dad was Fuck it I guess he had keeping up with every address But I'd flipped every mattress, every rock and desert cactus Own a collection of and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas Someone ever moved from me? That you could bet your ass's If I had to come down the chimney dressed as Santa, them And one has met their grandma you pulled up in our drive one night as we were leaving to get some hamburgers Me, her and Nate, we you, hugged you And as you left I had this overwhelming sadness come me As we off to go our separate paths, and I saw your as I looked back And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for my Mom and my Dad So Mom, accept this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to get off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead The said to fasten my seat belt, I guess we're crashing So if I'm not dreaming, I hope you get this message that I'll love you from afar you're my mama
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark I drive on we took this too far
I want a new One without a So I'm coming tonight Well no what the cost And if the plane goes Or if the can't wake me up Just know that I was And I was not to die
Oh even if songs to sing My children will me know that I'm alright I was not to die Because I put my in my new girl So I never say goodbye cruel Just know I'm alright I am not to die
I we are who we are shining in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far, I a new life
