"Mama" lyrics

"Mama"

Back in Chicago
You wrote our story
I know it hurt you
To leave your hometown
You had your heartbreak
But you forgave him
I know it hurt you
But you did it all for us

And I had no idea what you had given up

I'm sorry mama
For the worrying I've caused ya
For the nights you didn't sleep
For the nights I didn't call
And I stressed you out
I'm sorry mama
For the endless paranoia
Cause after all this time
I see every sacrifice
I get it now
I finally get it now

Moved out at 18
You're in the driveway
I see you waving
Your baby's all grown up
I see you crying
And now I'm crying too
You say I make you proud
Well Mom I'm trying to

And I had no idea what you had given up

I'm sorry mama
For the worrying I've caused ya
For the nights you didn't sleep
For the nights I didn't call
And I stressed you out
I'm sorry mama
For the endless paranoia
Cause after all this time
I see every sacrifice
I get it now
I finally get it now
