Mom I know I let you And though you say the days are Why is the off, and I'm fucked up? And mom, I know not around But don't you place the on me As you pour yourself drink and
I we are who we are Headlights in the dark night, I drive on we took this too far
I in headfirst Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in verse My mom got it the worst The brunt of it, but as as we are Did I it too far? out my closet and all them other songs But regardless I don't you 'cause ma! You're still to me, cause you're my mom Though far be it for you to be calling, my was Vietnam Desert Storm and both of us put Can an atomic bomb equivalent to chemical warfare And we can drag this on and on But, to disagree That gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean to me You're kicking me out? It's fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little just leave) Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, anything to have other's goats Why we always at others throats? Especially when dad, he fucked us both We're in the same fucking boat, you'd think that it'd us close (nope) away that drove us, but together headlights shine, a car full of belongings Still got a ways to go, back to grandma's house straight up the road And I was the man of the house, the oldest, so my shoulders the weight of the load Then got taken away by the state at eight years old, and That's when I realized you sick and it wasn't fixable or changeable And to this day we estranged and I hate it though, but
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark I drive on Maybe we took too far
'Cause to this day we estranged and I hate it though 'Cause you ain't even get to witness grand baby's growth But I'm sorry mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was maybe so, never meant that far to take it though, 'cause Now I know it's not your fault, and I'm not jokes That song I no play at shows and I cringe every time it's on the radio And I think of Nathan being placed in a And all the you fed us And how I wanted you to taste your own, but Now the medications taken over and your states deteriorating slow And I'm way too old to cry, that shit's though But ma, I you, so does Nathan yo All you did, all you said, you did best to raise us both care, that cross you bare, few may be as heavy as yours But I love you Mathers, oh what a tangled web we have, 'cause One thing I never was where the fuck my deadbeat dad was it I guess he had trouble keeping up with every address But I'd have flipped every mattress, every rock and desert Own a collection of maps and followed my kids to the of the atlas Someone moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's If I had to come the chimney dressed as Santa, kidnap them And one has met their grandma Once you pulled up in our drive one night as we were to get some hamburgers Me, her and Nate, we you, hugged you And as you I had this overwhelming sadness come over me As we off to go our separate paths, and I saw your headlights as I looked And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to thank you for my Mom and my Dad So Mom, please accept this as a I wrote this on the jet I guess I had to get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm The said to fasten my seat belt, I guess we're crashing So if I'm not dreaming, I you get this message that I'll always love you from afar you're my mama
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I on Maybe we took too far
I a new life One without a So I'm home tonight Well no matter what the And if the goes down Or if the can't wake me up Just know I was alright And I was not to die
Oh even if songs to sing My children carry me Just that I'm alright I was not to die Because I put my in my new girl So I never say goodbye cruel know that I'm alright I am not to die
I we are who we are Headlights in the dark night I drive on Maybe we took this too far, I a new life
