"Best"

I know you think I'm wasting my life,
and I know you think I've failed.
That as far as me being successful,
that ship has in your mind sailed.

I've done a lot I'm not proud of,
and a lot I'd want to change.
A lot I feel bad about,
and things that make me cry to this very day.

I'm sorry for hurting,
and sad for causing you pain.
I really am trying,
and trust I will regain.

This is the best I've ever done Mom,
the best I've ever done.

I know I've always been a bit messed up,
and a little confused.
I know I've destroyed, pushed away,
lied and abused.

But this is my sorry, my apology, my prayer,
that all will be forgiven,
and one day forgotten,
and things will soon become clear.

I'm sorry for hurting,
and sad for causing you pain.
I really am trying,
and trust I will regain.

This is the best I've ever done Mom,
the best I've ever done.

I have a few things up my sleeve,
and a few talents that have yet to be unleashed.
One day there will be reason to be proud,
these things will hopefully release,

some of the things I've held inside,
the things I could not say.
Things I've needed to come out,
and I figure this is the only way,

to get you to understand, that I'm no longer mad.
I just want to move on,
and hopefully you do too.
So let's make a beginning,
and start today with the new.

I'm sorry for hurting,
and sad for causing you pain.
I really am trying,
and trust I will regain.

This is the best I've ever done Mom,
the best I've ever done.
