• Tell my father I'm sorry for all that's happened
    and tell my mama I'm sorry for all the grief and pain I've caused.
    Nothing's going right for me anymore.
    I've never seen myself this way before.
    I'm packing up my things and moving out today.
    Don't want people to be miserable because all of the stuff I've been doin'.
    My brains going fuzzy, my minds going crazy.
    Never in my life have I felt this way.

    {chorus}
    I'm sorry, oh I'm sorry, but mama, daddy, it's time for me to leave.
    You won't ever have to deal with my stupidity, no, not ever again.
    Don't worry, I'll be okay.
    This is just something I've gotta work through; for the sake of me and you.
    I'm not holding you responsible for my childish games.
    Oh, I'm sorry for the way I've been.
    {chorus}

    Tell my father I'm sorry for the way I've been acting.
    And tell my mama I'm sorry for breaking her heart.
    It hurts me so bad that we're falling apart.
    I'd fix this in a jiffy, but it won't be that easy.
    I know it's gonna be hard to please ya, but mama and daddy,
    don't worry I'm not gonna give up.

    20 years pass and now you're in that little old nursing home.
    Now I've got two full grown babies headin' off to college and you
    don't even know their names.
    I remember that promise I made you and hop into my car.
    I ask for my mother and my father, they say you don't know who I am.
    What's the point of tryin' to get back where we used to be if you don't even
    know me?

    {chorus}
    I sing that nursery rhyme mama used to sing to me quarter till nine.
    Flippin through that picture book, oh, I remember those days.
    When I was just a little girl, mama and daddy took my hands and swung me
    when they walked down the street.
    Where did all that happiness go?
    Why won't you just give me one more chance to make things right?
    I'm sorry for the way I used to be, but mama and daddy, I swear I've changed.
    {chorus}

    Oh mama, oh daddy, I'm sorry we're not how we used to be.
    I'm sorry things ended up like this.
