God, Mom, Dad, You all, Me

I just wanna say I’m sorry, God, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I just wanna say I’m sorry, God, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I’ve gone and done some things wrong and I know that they are bad

I’ve gone and done some things wrong and I know I shouldn’t have

It’s been a little bit of a tough road for me but at least I learned a lot

It’s been a little bit of a tough road for me but I gave it my best shot

And I know It sure took a toll on me

With all the pain, frustration, and misery

I don’t want Mom and Dad to see

How I look when I am lying on the floor in defeat

Please do me a favor and don’t look at me

Please do me a favor and don’t look down on me

I’m doing everything I can, why can’t you see

The only thing standing in my way is me

I just wanna say I’m sorry, Mom, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I just wanna say I’m sorry, Pop, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I’m sorry I couldn’t do what the other two did

But I sure hope that doesn’t make me the failure kid

I get a little bit scared thinking all about my future life

I get a little bit scared thinking about what I’ll do to survive

I wanna get a job nearby so I can always be close to home

Or maybe that’s just an excuse I tell myself because I’m scared I can’t make it on my own

I make these little rhymes

But then I get nervous and I can’t keep time

I swear, what am I doing alive

It’s been 19 years and I haven’t learned Spanish in that time

These are my flaws, baby these are my fears

These are the problems I’ve garnered through the years

And after all that time they’ve become crystal clear

I just wanna say I’m sorry, ya’ll, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I just wanna say I’m sorry, ya’ll, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I’ve isolated myself in my own little world, I can’t get hurt that way

But in my mind my thoughts are the predators and I’m the god damn prey

It’s always been an inner conflict with me and my mental health

I shut my eyes walking by mirrors cause I cannot stand looking at myself

I hope you understand why we haven’t spoken in quite a while

I just don’t wanna drag you into this endless sorrow spiral

I wonder what my past self would think If he saw how he grew up

Would he be impressed, would he be happy, or would he just give up

Never really liked how I overthought shit

Never really thought I’d turn out like this

Never really knew If I failed or succeed

And if I had an opinion would yours disagree with me

I just wanna say I’m sorry, Tom, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong

I just wanna say I’m sorry, Tom, for

Everything that I’ve done so wrong
