[Verse 1]
I love you, mom and dad
I know I’ve hurt your heart
I said some things I can’t take back
And that tears me apart
I’m sorry if I made you feel
Bad about yourself
That was never what I wanted
I wish I said it well
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m making this to tell you
What I never said out loud
If my words came out like thunder
I want to change that now
[Chorus]
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
Please forgive my hands
For all the times they slipped
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
I’m holding on to you
With everything I’ve got
[Verse 2]
I really love you, both of you
More than I can show
You were there when I was breaking
When I didn’t know where to go
And I’m going to miss you
That part is hard to say
But I need you to hear me
Before I fade away
[Pre-Chorus]
I’m making this to tell you
What I never said out loud
If my words came out like thunder
I want to change that now
[Chorus]
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
Please forgive my hands
For all the times they slipped
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
I’m holding on to you
With everything I’ve got
[Bridge]
If I could fold my fear up
And set it at your feet
I’d leave it there forever
So you could both breathe easy
I don’t need to be perfect
Just honest when I’m near
So here’s my heart, my sorry
And all the love I keep here
[Final Chorus]
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
Please forgive my hands
For all the times they slipped
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
I’m holding on to you
With everything I’ve got
I love you, mom and dad
(I love you, mom and dad)
I’m going to miss you now
But I will love you on
