Motherless First Day

V4.5-ALL

[Verse 1] My first Mother's Day, mother less I just can't believe this, I'm a wreck You told me one day you'd leave this earth Now it's real life, and it hurts for what it's worth Now my sleep don't come easy Whole room feel heavy, it lean on me I keep reaching for a voice that's gone Then I wake up mad at the dawn [Pre-Chorus] Why this pain won't live me? Why your smile keep leaving me? I been strong for the whole world But I fold when I see your picture, girl [Chorus] Mama, I'm sorry I took you for granted Mama, I'm sorry Now my heart is damaged You taught me to walk You taught me to talk Mama, I'm sorry I'm lost in the dark [M] Mama, I'm sorry (I'm sorry) [Verse 2] You had my back when I had none You made a home out the hard times You held it down with tired hands Now I'm replaying every call I missed, every chance I should've said it more, I should've stayed Should've sat and listened while you prayed Now I carry all this weight alone Wish I could bring you back home [Pre-Chorus] Why this pain won't leave me? Why your name keep filling me? I been tough in a hundred ways But I'm just a son in the hurt you made [Chorus] Mama, I'm sorry I took you for granted Mama, I'm sorry Now my heart is damaged You taught me to walk You taught me to talk Mama, I'm sorry I'm lost in the dark [M] Mama, I'm sorry (I'm sorry) [Bridge] If love could wake the dead I'd run it back instead I'd tell you all I kept inside And hold your hand one more night But all I got is this ache And the lessons that you made So I pray you hear me now Your son still makes you proud [Final Chorus] Mama, I'm sorry I took you for granted Mama, I'm sorry Now my heart is damaged You taught me to walk You taught me to talk Mama, I'm sorry I'm still in the dark [M] Mama, I'm sorry (I'm sorry) Mama, I'm sorry (I'm sorry)
