Mama I'M Sorry

Mama I’m sorry, I’m sorry that I don’t listen when I wanna have my way. I heard you once, twice, three times, but mama I just wanna play, This game, then finish the last episode. I’m too addicted to this phone, mama, I don’t wanna go. Mama I’m sorry, I always fill you up with worry, But I don’t wanna open my mouth, I’m afraid I might shout. Mama I know, I’m shutting you out, I wanna talk to you I do, But the anger pulsing through my body is preventing me from doing so. Mama I wish I had the guts to tell you “I’m sorry.” I’m not the perfect daughter you thought I’d be, I try my best, I know it’s not enough. My actions are speaking louder than my words, Instead of “I’m sorry” silently my body tells you to worry, But deep inside I once again am sorry.
