*Verse 1*
Ink stains on the page, tears fall like the rain
I'm writing my goodbye, but the words won't come out right
I'm trying to be strong, but it's hard to let go
'Cause every memory I have, is tied to you, Ma, you know
*Chorus*
Oh, Ma, I'm sorry for the pain
For the times I made you cry, for the love that went in vain
I'm grateful for the time, for the laughter and the tears
But most of all, I'm thankful for the years
*Verse 2*
I remember nights, you'd stay up late
Praying for my future, worrying 'bout my fate
You gave me life, and now I'm facing death
But I'm at peace, 'cause I know you'll be alright, Ma, you're strong
*Chorus*
Oh, Ma, I'm sorry for the pain
For the times I made you cry, for the love that went in vain
I'm grateful for the time, for the laughter and the tears
But most of all, I'm thankful for the years
*Bridge*
I'll carry you with me, wherever I may go
In my heart, in my soul, you'll never be alone
I'll make sure your love, your legacy lives on
And though I'm leaving, my love for you will never be gone
*Chorus*
Oh, Ma, I'm sorry for the pain
For the times I made you cry, for the love that went in vain
I'm grateful for the time, for the laughter and the tears
But most of all, I'm thankful for the years.
