Mother I'm Sorry

Melissa Dori Dye

To all my friends I'm sorry
I'm having a serious bad day
friends I'm sorry if I have hurt you in any way
everyone I'm sorry I guess I have been tough to know and to the world I'm sorry
I had to go

try to tell me that it's not all lost cause you'll fail
I woke up today I still hate this face
yes you'll fail
I'll wake tomorrow I'll still hate this place
always pretend to be a friend to me so turn around for once and start pretending now

mother I'm sorry I guess I'm not like other girls
mother I'm sorry I'm not blond with cork screw curls
mother I'm sorry my arms are beaten black and blue
mother I'm sorry I can't be you
mother I'm sorry

so from now on I'll be that woman feeling old and so alone
I will lay down on the ground so I am closer to my home
these ghosts here in my closet no there really is no cure
I picked apart the pain and there you were
there you were mother

try to tell me that it's not all lost cause you'll fail
I woke up today I still hate this face
yes you'll fail
I'll wake tomorrow I'll still hate this place
always pretend to be a friend to me
so turn around for once and start pretending now

mother I'm sorry I guess I'm not like other girls
mother I'm sorry I'm not blond with cork screw curls
mother I'm sorry my arms are beaten black and blue
mother I'm sorry I can't be you
