Mama


Back in Chicago 
You wrote our story 
I know it hurt you 
To leave your hometown 
You had your heartbreak 
But you forgave him 
I know it hurt you 
But you did it all for us 

And I had no idea what you had given up 

I’m sorry mama 
For the worrying I’ve caused ya 
For the nights you didn’t sleep 
For the nights I didn’t call 
And I stressed you out 
I’m sorry mama 
For the endless paranoia 
Cause after all this time 
I see every sacrifice 
I get it now 
I finally get it now 

Moved out at 18 
You’re in the driveway 
I see you waving 
Your baby’s all grown up 
I see you crying 
And now I’m crying too
You say I make you proud 
Well Mom I’m trying to 

And I had no idea what you had given up 

I’m sorry mama 
For the worrying I’ve caused ya 
For the nights you didn’t sleep 
For the nights I didn’t call 
And I stressed you out 
I’m sorry mama 
For the endless paranoia 
Cause after all this time 
I see every sacrifice 
I get it now 
I finally get it now
