I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done
Should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't

[Verse 1]
1993 you gave birth to me
Sweet little baby girl, had the world at my feet
Before I could even stand
Cradled me in your right and your left hand
A precious bundle of unmade plans
Hopes and dreams of bigger things
A bright future or so it seemed
Oh but that light grew a little less bright
As I grew up and we began to fight
When I was 13, I was so damn mean
Running away, had nothing more to say than "I hate you"
But that's not true, now
I just don't, I just don't
I just don't know how to say
[Chorus]
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done
Should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't

[Verse 2]
You never talk about me to your friends
Because you must be so embarrassed
I dropped out of college without any plans, moved back home
I couldn't even pay rent, I was living on your couch
Trying to figure it out cutting myself up
And tearing myself down

[Chorus]
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done
Should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't

[Bridge]
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how
I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon the hill
Or take care of all your medical bills
I know I didn't make you proud
I should've been someone by now
But I never figured out how

[Chorus]
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done
Should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together

[Outro]
I'm sorry mom and dad
I know I messed up bad
I should've, should've done
Should've done better
I'm sorry mom and dad
For all the time I had
To get my life, to get my life together
But I didn't
Sincerely, your daughter
