Momma

Momma I'm a criminal
I stole something that wasn't mine
I messed up
But I didn't do the time

Momma I'm a mess
Something I must confess
My credentials are all jacked up
I made life for you and me super tough

Momma I'm a liar
I set that place on fire
And with only words

Momma I still cry at night
Trying to escape my freight
Go to this effortless light
I cut your name in my heart

Momma I still love you
But I still see stuff above you
Maybe they're only stars
That tell me with your help
I can go far

Momma I'm a lover not a fighter
Everything I say is usually meant to make people go higher
I don't preach like the choir
But I'm helping with my shallow heart

Momma I'm sorry
All I can do is write and love you on your day
Even when you deserve so much better
I'm sorry I wrote you those letters
I only wish I could make it better

Momma I'm a criminal
I stole what cannot be given
Your last bit of sanity
Because of my cruel vanity
I only wish for you to forgive me
