The Best Kid

I know I haven't showed much apperciation lately
I realize I've kinda shut you out of my life too
I realize I haven't showed you much respect leately 
But I do still love you
I know I haven't been the best kid I could be
I also know you deserve more than I give

See the truth is is I've always looked up to you
You have been the biggest part of my life for awhile
I keep thinking back on all the things you've done for me over the years
And how I've always thought of you as my best friend
And how much I always wanted to grow up and be like you
And how often I thought of you as everything to me

I know I haven't been the best kid a parent could ask for
I also know your not even my real mother
I guess sometimes I get so wrapped up on being my own person
And I have the tendency to forget I owe so much to you
Because I wouldn't be were I was today if it hadn't been for you
And thats why I think so much of you

I'm sorry I haven't been the best kid
And I do the things I do
I'm sorry we've had our disagreements
But that don't mean I don't still care about you
And I hope you know no matter what
I will always love you

Because to me your my mother
Even if you didn't give birth to me
