Sorry mom & dad if the decisions I make are poor
But I’ve got a taste for tequila & some weed in my sock drawer
I’m not trying to get back at you & you didn’t raise me wrong
I’m just tryna figure out this world & where the hell I belong
I’m sorry mom & dad for bringing that last guy home
& not listening when you said that he was an a**hole
I know you don’t believe me when I say it won’t happen again
You know I’ve got a habit of choosing narcissistic men
I just wanna make you proud
Get married by the time I’m thirty, have life figured out
All I ever wanted was to tell you I made it
So sorry mom & dad if I fell short of expectations
Sorry mom & dad I keep on asking you for cash
But unpaid gigs are all I’ve got while I still have class
& I promise I’ll get my degree, cause if that’s what’ll make you happy
I’ll write papers til my fingers bleed
I just wanna make you proud
Have a sold-out show in my hometown & you standing in the crowd
All I ever wanted was to tell you I made it
So sorry mom & dad if I fell short of expectations
I’m sorry cause I know the bar you set for me was higher
& when you had a kid you weren’t expecting a wildfire
But one day I’ll put my flames out & give you both a rest
It may not seem like it right now, but I’m trying my best
Sorry mom & dad that this is kind of a dumb song
Cause you’ll tell me that you love me, even if I’m living wrong
