No Matter What

No matter what I did it never seemed to be good enough to catch your attention. 
Moma I did so much yet you never really cared. The tears I have cried for you I 
see now they were just a waste of my time as was everything else I did. I tried 
being good just for you while your oldest daughter was sleeping around and 
doing drugs just like you. I told myself all this good that I was doing would get 
your attention. Yet no matter what your men and drugs were more important. Well 
moma if men who abuse you and drugs that will never the less ruin your life are 
more important than I don't know what to say but maybe one day the wheel will 
turn and it will be time for me to say, Moma no matter what you do you cannot 
make up for the lost time.
