Mommy's Perfect Little Girl

Forgive me sweet girl for putting you through hell For the times you were crying as I went off to jail Did I even love you? How could you tell? Forgive me sweet girl for putting you second to dope I left you no choice but to learn how to cope Where did you find so much love and such hope? Forgive me sweet girl for living life full of sin As I battled addiction I let you watch addiction win Why'd I make the same mistakes again and again? Forgive me sweet girl for the tears and the pain You were always my sunshine; I was always your rain What was my problem? Was I going insane? Forgive me sweet girl for destroying your world For not holding you tight like a clam holds a pearl One thing is certain you've always remained mommy's perfect little girl
