Throughout my life
Thinking back through the years
Remembering just some
Alot of mistakes I made
I took your love for granted
I'm not proud to say
I was completely selfish
Just thinking of myself
Trying now to give back 
All the love you gave
Still giving us today
We put you through a lot
I'm sure they were nights you couldn't sleep
How can I make things ok
How can I make things ok
Or just hoping they would be
Sometimes you made me think for myself
I know you probably sit back and prayed
Always beside
Sometimes behind
Backing us with love and support
Giving us advice
Just trying to help
Only If I could go back
I'd listen
When it came to us
 you knew best
You done the best job you could
Know we didn't make it easy
Yet you never turned us away
Always it were your kids that came first
Felt I could talk to you when no one else
Wish I'd talked more, less mistakes I'd made 
Mom, I just want to say I'm sorry
Remembering times, I treated you bad
All the screaming and yelling 
Hurts to believe was me
The way I acted 
My fits of rage
All my lies 
Somethings didn't add up
Things I shouldn't have said
I remember what I did
I was raised better
You taught me right
Me blaming my temper
Yeah it got my best
That I'm still working on today
It's always been my excuse
A poor excuse
Hope I never again have to make
I feel closer to you today than yesterday 
Closer than ever before
I have many years to make up
Years that I pushed you away
Again I'm sorry
But l know you done forgave
Hopefully now I can start to forgive myself
I love you Mom and always will
