Norway - To My Mother (For Mother’s Day)
I made a promise long ago to help you through
I said I’d help and support you
Through the bad times and through hell
And so we still stand together, on the brink
Barely alive, but who can tell?
I’m a disgrace and a loser, a wasted friend
Whose dying but still trying, until the very end
I’m Tired, angry, crazy and crying
But I’m trying… god I’m trying
I can’t write nice words to tell you, because I’ve got none to say
I can’t say sorry enough, for things turning out this way
I should have gotten you to better places by now
I should have seized the day
I meant to put money on the table
I meant to help fight your tears away
Life has been a constant battle, but you still pray anyway
At times my love for you has waned
Your tolerance for me is strained
But I’m still in your corner for now and strong
I hate those that don’t treat you right
And I hate those who have treated you so wrong
You’re a great person, a great being and an idol
I don’t blame you now that you’re suicidal
I can’t write nice words to tell you, because I’ve got none to say
I can’t say sorry enough, for things turning out this way
I should have gotten you to better places by now
I should have seized the day
I meant to put money on the table
I meant to help fight your tears away
Life has been a constant battle, but you still pray anyway
It took so long to get my head a little clearer
On a tight rope trying to get a little nearer
To the answers that we needed to see
But the cost was abusing
And led to losing, bits and pieces of me
I regret not respecting you more
But I try harder each day to be better then before
I can’t write nice words to tell you, because I’ve got none to say
I can’t say sorry enough, for things turning out this way
I should have gotten you to better places by now
I should have seized the day
I meant to put money on the table
I meant to help fight your tears away
Life has been a constant battle, but you still pray anyway
We’re almost at the end now
Of a long and gruesome war
Of personal grief and struggling
The world’s endless suffering at our door
I know that I can reach out to you
But that you wont be here for long
When you leave for better things
I will always remember your song
I can’t write nice words to tell you, because I’ve got none to say
I can’t say sorry enough, for things turning out this way
I should have gotten you to better places by now
I should have seized the day
I meant to put money on the table
I meant to help fight your tears away
Life has been a constant battle, but you still pray anyway
I can’t help you in every way
There are some things I just wont do
Perhaps you don’t even need me anymore
Because I have no clue
I wouldn’t blame you for hating me
Perhaps I have become a chore
But whatever you may think of me
My faith in you still soars
I made a promise long ago to help you through
I said I’d help and support you
Through the bad times and through hell
Well I’m still here for you and true to you
Because I believe in you, because I look up to you
Because you took care of me
And because, I still love you.
