I know why you have to go
but it doesn't hurt any less
i know that you have to work
but mom it doesn't make me miss you less
i know you love me and always will
but mom you're not here
and that really sucks
i know you have a job
and we should all be grateful
but mom i miss you when you're gone
i know you try your hardest mom
but mom can you try harder here?
i know you have other priorities
and mom i know we're at the top of your list
but sometimes it seems like we're starting to slip
what if we slip to far
what if you never come home
what if you don't miss us enough
what if you leave and you don't drive home
i love you mom
and i know you love me
but mom
we're starting to slip
and it's starting to hurt me
i love you mom
