You Deserved Better
YOU DESERVED BETTER
You’ve given me everything you could
And I haven’t always responded as I should
You deserved to have a better son than me
That’s plain enough for me to see
Mum, I haven’t always behaved like a perfect son
But I think now I’ve finished all the work that you’ve begun.
