"Appreciated" lyrics

They say that the truth hurts
Yes I believe it
Cause from past experience
I felt the pain from it
But what they failed to mention
Is there's always reasons why
And as she's shone to me
I will always appreciate it

Cause Mama you loved me when I didn't know it
You were always there for me when I didn't see it
You cared enough to tell me when I was wrong
Now that I'm older I realize

I'd give anything to hear the worried sound of your voice
Once more
I long to feel the warmth of your tender touch
On my shoulder
I see traces of your smile everywhere
If I can just show you how much you always will be
Appreciated
Appreciated

It wasn't til my first child
My eyes began to open
I finally understood your
Undying devotion
It's funny how time can heal
The woes from past contentions
I know now you gave your best to me
I will always appreciate it

Cause Mama you loved me when I didn't know it
You were always there for me when I didn't see it
You cared enough to tell me when I was wrong
Now that I'm older I realize

I'd give anything to hear the worried sound of your voice
Once more
I long to feel the warmth of your tender touch
On my shoulder
I see traces of your smile everywhere
If I can just show you how much you always will be
Appreciated
Appreciated

I'd give anything to hear the worried sound of your voice
Once more
I long to feel the warmth of your tender touch
On my shoulder
I see traces of your smile everywhere
If I can just show you how much you always will be
Appreciated
Appreciated

They say that the truth hurts
And yes I believe it
I should've understood your
Undying devotion
