FORGIVE ME, MAMA

Made promises I couldn't keep.
Forgive me, Mama.
If there's still a place for me.
I got scars that I don't show,
And a heart that I don't trust.
Built my kingdom out of anger, watched it crumble into dust.
Every night I hear your footsteps.
Every night I hear that door.
You were praying I'd come home while I was fighting every war.
You said, "Son, don't throw your life away." I heard you,
But I chose another way.
Now there's nothing left to blame,
