MOM

I wish it could be the way it was, mom
I really wish it could
I hope you don't hate me, mom
Even though sometimes i know you should

I wish I knew all the answers, mom
I wish i didn't have to ask
I hope you still know who i am, mom
Even if I'm hidden under a mask

I wish I could be everything you say i am, mom
I wish I could just be myself
I hope one day I'll overcome this, mom
And not be hidden under self doubt

I hope we can be friends, mom
Like the way it used to be
And I know you'll always be there, mom
Waiting, just waiting for the real me

So even though I might seem distant, mom
Or even far away
You know I'll always love you, mom
Each and every day.
