You love her yet you run away from her
You love her yet you run away from her
Forgive me for your sleepless nights
Forgive me for the waiting lines
The clashes during inspections
Forgive me for the times in custody
Forgive me for leaving so early
When I forgot to answer your messages
When I was supposed to drop by between two or three shows
When I had to lie to you to keep you from hitting me
I never doubted your good faith
Your mother's a rare flower
That you water with your love
So don't shorten her countdown
Tell her you love her, that you regret
Your way of always picking fights
She struggles to get away
Because your big brothers did hard time
Are my wrinkles stopping me from smiling at her
Your tears stung my wounds
I forever curse the day we bury you
And even when everybody's against you
She's still your best friend
You'd like to tell her what she means to you
Before she loses her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And even when everybody's against you
She's still your best friend
You'd like to tell her what she means to you
Before she loses her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
I'm sure she'd just love to hear
Instead of the dad's screams
Threatening to throw you out
I'm sure she cracks after
And your absence would hurt her
Worse than a fall from the roof of her house
You to hold her in your arms
During your first twelve months
I'm sure love made you short-sighted
Instead of giving it to your mother
Hours on the phone with your girl
In front of your boys you stand up to her
But you forget she held that head
When she gave you the breast
She's the only person who prays
To leave this world before you
But for me you are 'cause
You're tanned while she's so pale
Except for her nobody puts up with
You're not the center of the world
But you are of your mama's
And even when everybody's against you
She's still your best friend
You'd like to tell her what she means to you
Before she loses her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And even when everybody's against you
She's still your best friend
You'd like to tell her what she means to you
Before she loses her life
But you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
And you don't dare, you don't dare
You don't dare say it to her
Except for my voice and my height
I want you to approve my fiancée
Comfort me like when I fell
Just hold you in my arms
I love you one last time, rest in peace
For us you gave body and soul
If I'm out of ink too bad
Today Mom's gone
Bro don't act like a foster kid
If you've got one make her happy
Tell her you love her before she goes
To everyone who still has a mom
Even death can't stop love
Tell them that you love them
