Because You Taught Me

9 months i was inside you. you were feeding me, warming me, trying to get me out to live I open my eyes, im wondering where am i?!im living a life You taught, you played with me when i was a child you raised me, you cooked for me, you were taking two parts My father was at work, you were always comforting me with a big heart If i made a mistake, you taught me the right thing If i lied, you take my silly lies and teach me to tell the truth You never were wrong when you taked to me, your talk was always smooth I was 5 when my eyes were bright on the candy bar It was the first and the last time that i stole You sent me with the money to go pay back the store you punished me by these upset eyes That made me swear to myself not to steal again I became a good child then I was 18 i was a trouble some girl Illigaly smoking, drinking around the bars and clubs Staying out all nights , knowing all names of the pubs I barely went to classes, i was about not to graduate HighSchool You went to my teachers, telling them my daughter will be fine I graduated the school with your help, but i thought it was mine I was 21 when i said i want to quit university I wanted to do something else, makeup or fashion design You stood by me, trying to solve my way, i was pushing you away from my line I never realized how you worked hard for me mother but now i realized Without you, I'm a theif, I'm a trouble some girl, I'm really bad Thanks for bringing me to life and being my mother. I'm so glad I never told you how grateful i'm to you Let me say what is in my heart before it's too late I love you mom and I'm sorry for all my stupid mistakes I love life because you taught me so
