For mom

Arguing, yelling, and fighting
I don't have a daddy anymore
Does he still love us?
If he does why'd he walk out the door?

I see you trying to move on
Trying to make it on your own
And as for me, I'm still wondering
Why my dad left us all alone

But you've made it without him
And raised us the best way you could
You taught us right from wrong
Just like every mother should

As I grew older a choice I had to make
Of who I wanted to live with my mom or my dad
And of course I choose you
This question made me so mad

My dad was never there for me
Just like you always were
He always use to tell me he would come
But I don't believe his lies anymore

He always gave us false hopes
And told us he would come
I wonder why I always waited for him
How could I be so dumb?

He wasn't there for us at school
Or any other important day
But you, you were always there
Even if things got in your way

I noticed you were so proud of us
Because we always had good grades
But as for now, you're not happy with me
Because of wrong choices I've made

Mom, I'm making my own mistakes
and I'm learning from them too
I'm trying to bring my grades up
Not just for me but also for you

I'm trying very very hard
That's what I need for you to understand
And if at times I can't make it
Know that I've done the best I can

Mom, I see you trying to help
because it hurts you to see me fall
But believe me that I'm going to change
I'll make it through this all

I want you to still have trust in me
If only you could give me another chance
I think about my choices twice now
And I always take a second glance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mom, may I ask you something now?
Why is are family falling apart?
This isn't what a family should be like...
But everyone is still in my heart

I miss the times we used to visit grandma
And the way we all got along
We used to be so happy
And our love used to be strong

But all because of me and my 15
Everyone has turned against each other
You don't talk to your mommy
And not even to your brother

I remember when I was little
At holidays we always used to be together
We used to stay up late and have fun
Those memories of all of us I'll keep forever

Are you enjoying the fact that you don't talk to them?
Do you think what you're doing is right?
Would you be sad if something bad happen to them?
Would you regret it every night?

Why has the happiness gone away?
And why can't we still have fun?
Live our lives like they should be lived
Forget about the past, it's already done...
