Hey mom 17 years, it's been so long
I have so much to say and I put them all in a song
I can't count how many times that you saved pennies and dimes
propped me up from dirt and grime, tucked me in at my bedtime
So I put my thoughts in a rhyme to say
you stop my world from turning grey
In my darkest moments you always stayed
through the darkness you found a way
when I yelled at you mom you didn't sway
when I shouted you didn't turn away
you never ever gave up
even when my life sucked
at the lowest of the lowest you were there with me then and always
So I made this song for you made this song for me a dedication to every memory
every cord and every harmony every word I hand-picked carefully
The yelling and yammeringshouting and clamoring feelings and hurt feelings all of them simmering
We forgive each other already
but you need to hear this from me
Because all the rights and all the wrongs
can't change the fact that you're my mom
[hook]
I love you mom and that will never ever change
I hope that we'll always be close and never be estranged
Parts of me want to stay and to never go away
I guess that's all that I want to say
I love you mom and that will never ever change
We will always be close and never be estranged
I just want to stay and to never go away
Hey, check the calendar:it' mother's day
You keep feeling guilty,
saying you treated me poorly
But mom, you just have to see
You never once mistreated me
The NDS and 3DS
you just want me to be the best
you wanted me to nail the tests
not your fault I was in a mess
when you smashed them into splinters
I actually became better
So mom, no guilty conscience
it's my fault so stop this nonsense
Every single fight we had
deep down I know it's my bad
But I kept fighting and arguing
coz I don't wanna listen
to any rhyme orreason
anything we agree on
I would instantly flee from
freeze my heart and be numb
stuff my ears and play dumb
break your heart and then some
didn't care what I would become
But you stayed with me aided me
and never once hated me
I made some bad decisions
ignored all your suggestions
so if anyone should say sorry
mom it is me
[hook]
I love you mom and that will never ever change
I hope we'll always be close and never be estranged
Parts of me want to stay and to never go away
I guess that's all that I want to say
I love you mom and that will never ever change
We will always be close and never be estranged
I just want to stay and to never go away
Hey, check the calendar: it' mother's day
In all honesty,you cared for me,
raised me up andset me free
you are mydriver and my chef
when it comes tomothers you are the best
Bought me this,bought me that,
from Lego blocksto baseball hats
At home you didall the work
without complaint not even a word
Constantly worrying about my plans
my mentor my agent and my fan
You always do all that you can
help me fight and help me stand
always caring always worried always nagging but it's endearing
You are always loving and I'll always love you
I guess that's all I'm saying
[hook]
I love you mom and that will never ever change
I hope we'll always be close and never be estranged
Parts of me want to stay and to never go away
I guess that's all that I want to say
I love you mom and that will never ever change
We will always be close and never be estranged
I just want to stay and to never go away
Hey, check the calendar: it' mother's day
