Tell your mom & dad I’m sorry [final version]
[VERSE] Everything I do, it’s all the same, “Very me and you”, it all remains, Even after all that I’ve been through, Everyday I feel the strain, everyday I feel the pain, They say I talk about you a lot, But for years you were all I got, And god, what a luck, Cause who wins it all with just one shot? It’s not like you forgot, you turned all those heads You knew what was up, you just couldn’t care less I felt so blessed, so why did I mess, it up? Why did I, F it up? I guess it’s what I do; ..turn around before the finish, I’m too afraid of love to ever truly win it [CHORUS] Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, I didn’t stay there, why I couldn’t stay fair, I’m sorry we didn’t get to finish all that we shared All that we had, I’m sorry I closed the book while there was so much left to be red Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, I don’t know why, I don’t know why.. [VERSE] I had to follow my feelings, cause they were too strong, But the thing that I know now, is that I might be wrong, Cause it happened again, so then what have I done.. …Maybe you were the one, and I let you go, Just because I was too scared to really show, You, who I am, and what I need I’ve never shared a word about how I feel That’s just not like me, ….I feel way too afraid Cause who talks about feelings when you can run away..? Should I have stayed, when everything was fine? the truth is, I don’t know, maybe you’d still be mine I miss you, but you deserve better I just wanted to let you know, …i still sleep in your sweater [CHORUS] Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, I didn’t just stay there, why I couldn’t stay fair, I’m sorry we didn’t get to finish all that we shared All that we had, I’m sorry I closed the book while there was so much left to be red Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, [OUTRO] …But I’m happy for you, even when I’m buried in guilt Because.. I saw you found the life that we should’ve built , , ….I feel way too afraid Cause who talks about feelings when you can run away..? ….. Should I have stayed, when everything was fine? the truth is, I don’t know, maybe you’d still be mine I miss you, but you deserve better I just wanted to let you know, …i still sleep in your sweater [CHORUS] Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, I didn’t just stay there, why I couldn’t stay fair, I’m sorry we didn’t get to finish all that we shared All that we had, I’m sorry I closed the book while there was so much left to be red Tell your mom and dad I’m sorry, I should’ve said goodbye, Tell all your friends I love them, and that I don’t know why, …But I’m happy for you, even when I’m buried in guilt Because.. I saw you found the life that we should’ve built

You can truly feel the pain this person is going through. This internal regret that rages inside. We sometimes don't know what we had until we truly take a moment. Such a treat to listen to. And the flow of the song feels so organic. So many songs just feel like they are trying to press the rhyming scheme (sadly me too). Great job!

It's very close to the previous version but with a bit more dimension. Plus, the words just flow out almost in a stream of consciousness. Good stuff. And yes, it has an ending. :)
