I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night, I on Maybe we this too far
I in headfirst Never thinking about who what I said hurt, in what My mom probably got it the The brunt of it, but as as we are Did I it too far? Cleaning out my and all them other songs But I don't hate you 'cause ma! You're beautiful to me, cause you're my mom far be it for you to be calling, my house was Vietnam Desert and both of us put together Can form an bomb equivalent to chemical warfare And forever we can this on and on But, to disagree gift from me up under the Christmas tree don't mean shit to me You're kicking me out? fifteen degrees and it's Christmas Eve (little prick just leave) Ma, let me grab my fucking coat, anything to have each goats Why we always at each others throats? Especially dad, he fucked us both We're in the same fucking boat, you'd think that make us close (nope) Further 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 carried the of the load Then Nate got 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 day we remained estranged and I hate it though, but
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the dark night I on Maybe we took too far
'Cause to day we remain estranged and I hate it though 'Cause you ain't even get to your grand baby's growth But I'm mama for 'Cleaning Out My Closet', at the time I was angry Rightfully maybe so, never that far to take it though, 'cause Now I know not your fault, and I'm not making jokes That song I no longer play at shows and I cringe 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 wanted you to your own, but Now the medications over and your mental states deteriorating slow And I'm way too old to cry, shit's painful though But ma, I you, so does Nathan yo All you did, all you said, you did your best to raise us Foster care, 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 asked was the fuck my deadbeat dad was Fuck it I he had trouble keeping up with every address But I'd have flipped every mattress, rock and desert cactus Own a collection of and followed my kids to the edge of the atlas ever moved them from me? That you could bet your ass's If I had to come down the chimney as Santa, kidnap them And although one has met grandma Once you pulled up in our drive one night as we 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 headlights as I back And I'm mad I didn't get the chance to you for being my Mom and my Dad So Mom, please this as a tribute I wrote this on the jet I I had to get this off my chest, I hope I get the chance to lay it before I'm dead The stewardess said to fasten my seat belt, I guess 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 in the dark night I drive on we took this too far
I a new life One a cause So I'm coming tonight no matter what the cost And if the plane down Or if the can't wake me up Just that I was alright And I was not to die
Oh if there's songs to sing My children carry me know that I'm alright I was not to die I put my faith in my new girl So I never say cruel world Just know that I'm I am not to die
I we are who we are Headlights shining in the night I drive on Maybe we took this too far, I a new life
