[Verse 1]
Don't get me wrong, I'm grateful that my mom is still here
And I wanna reach out, but I feel like it's never enough
People say I act like you and I look like you
Stubborn, smart and tough
You did the best you could and I understand that now
But there's still an ache there where my mom should be
Do you think about dad? Cause I think about him every day
It's so hard to keep the pain inside that way

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It's just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I've so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

[Chorus]
So I wrote this for ya
Cause I wanted to let you know that I'm grateful for my life
It's just so hard to be close to the fire you see
Cause we hold on a little to thight
I need room to breath, I need room to be free
Don't think that I don't love you, cause I do
I just need to be me, cause when we're too close
It's hard to know where you end and I begin
[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It's just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I've so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

[Bridge]
So today I'm choosing gratitude
Gonna try and let the anger go
You did the best that you could do
Just like your mom and all your moms before

[Pre-Chorus]
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It's just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I've so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

[Outro]
Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief
It's just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief
But I've so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain
Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
