I wish I could've at least said thank you if I forgot to say please,
I wish I didn't walk away when you asked me to make the tea
that we make every night for dinner, a simple request you gave me
why did I have to be that way, why did I have to be?
I wish I spent more time enjoying our family
rather than avoiding you guys,
but I was just a teenager growing up,
and I didn't realize
I cant get that family time back,
there will never be another yesterday
ill have no memories to pack
away to remember and never get to say
to my baby boy or baby girl,
just the wrong choices I made,
sneaking out and freaking out
oh man I wish I would have stayed
at home guilt free,
nothing to hide about,
nothing to lie about,
taking the easy route
rather than the longer one,
with the wrong obstacles ahead
sleeping with one eye open
in someone else's bed
not mine, not in my house
but his house that downown south
downtown,
not around where I live.
