Verse 1 I was young when I held you, I was learning how to breathe. I thought I knew what love was, but I was still learning me. I made mistakes I carry in the quiet of my heart. And if I could go back now, I would change so many parts. I wish you never had to feel the weight of who I was. I wish I could have been the mother you always deserved to have. Pre-Chorus There are words I've never said, because I never found the way. But if you could hear my heart, you'd hear them every day. Chorus I'm sorry, my son. I'm sorry for the things I couldn't get right. I loved you through my weakness. I loved you through my fights. You were always more than I could ever say. And if I wasn't perfect, my love never went away. I'm sorry, my son. I hope you know I'm proud of you today. Verse 2 I watched you grow before me, one year at a time. And somehow all those little moments turned into a lifetime. I still remember your laughter, the sound that filled the room. And now I miss it more than ever, when the house becomes too quiet. Pre-Chorus Sometimes I close my eyes and hear you like before. Then I open them again and you're not here anymore. Chorus I'm sorry, my son. For every time I wasn't who you needed me to be. I was young, I was scared, and I didn't know how much you'd mean to me. But look at you now. Look at the man you've become. I don't know how I got so lucky to call you my son. Bridge If I could give you anything, I'd give you back the years. I'd take every regret I've carried and wash it with my tears. But time doesn't turn backwards. The past won't disappear. So all I have is this confession: I loved you then. I love you now. And I will love you every year. Chorus I'm sorry, my son. For every scar I cannot see. For every moment I wish I'd understood what you needed from me. And even though I miss the little boy you used to be, I am so damn proud of the man standing in front of me. I miss your laughter echoing through the halls. I miss hearing your voice when you were just a little boy. But more than anything, I hope you know this is true— No matter how old you get, no matter where life takes you, there will always be a piece of my heart that belongs to you. Outro So if you ever wonder whether I regret the past, I do. But I would never regret loving you. You were the best part of a woman who was still learning how to become a mother. I'm sorry, my son. And I hope someday you can hear these words the way I mean them— with all the love I never knew how to say. (ahaaaa)
