[Verse 1 - Simplisity]

There's a man standing in a broken home

Looking at his momma and her broken soul

He leaves and walks all the broken roads

Goes in any direction that the wind blows

Then he started taking notes

And turning them to spoken poems

Every time his depression steady slows

Years later he’ll be touring doing show

Getting known off his mother's drug abuse

Never knowing how many drugs shed use

Only caring about the high induced

But she broke after all the years of use

So he sits there tired in his room

He's been writing cause he don’t know what to do

Ain't seen momma in 11 months, its cool

He's just glad he's out that hotel room

Had to live through all the hell that night

Cops came they were running from the lights

Insane don't know how he lived the night

Next day he walked and said goodbye

His memories kinda, kinda choppy

But while she was upstairs drinking coffee

On the wall he wrote in purple sharpie

I'm sorry

[Chorus - Doug Crawford]

I'm sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared

I’m sorry that the feeling shows and I just wasn’t there

I'm reminded of the fool I was

I cut you off and fucked it up again

I’m sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared

[Verse 2 - Simplisity]

I'm stuck here with a broken soul

A broken heart and no control

I'm feeling used it’s typical

The happiness is minimal

I'm scared to win but I'm scared to lose

I'm scared of running back to you

I'm scared of what I shouldn't do

That you might leave and I would too

I'm scared that you might never come

Back in my arms, you are my son

I count my loses one by one

And every time I'm overcome

I text you almost every week

Remind you of the pain I seep

When you're not home, not with me

Remind me what I couldn't be

So come back son and keep me safe

I'm depressed when you're away

Our hearts are always separate

It keeps me down so I'm afraid

That I'll get high and bend my ways

Stop me from this big mistake

Popping bottles every day

To end this high my life I'll take

[Chorus - Doug Crawford]

I'm sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared

I'm sorry that the feeling shows and I just wasn't there

I'm reminded of the fool I was

I cut you off and fucked it up again

I'm sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared

[Verse 3 - Simplisity]

Look mom I'm sorry that I left that day

It was hard but I couldn't bare to feel the pain

I knew that was the last that I'd ever say

Goodbye, sorry it had to be this way

I feel the heartache in your every text

But I still turn away cause I lack respect

But that still doesn't really change the fact

That leaving left me crying in my bed

Even though I don't live with you in my life

I still live with all the ache you left inside

Your guilt trip leads to pain and I wanna die

I didn't ask for a mother who wouldn't try

Now I'm gone and I hear you're playing with your life

You overdosed on those pills that you didn't buy

I feel guilty cause you do this when I'm out your life

But I can't turn back now my love isn't spite

You tell me that you're dying on Christmas day

But you never told me how long you have to stay

Still haven't texted you, don't know what to say

And I wanna talk to you but you're not the same

And I've got you on my mind every single day

Don't know what I'm gonna do, should I run or stay

I don't wanna be ready when it's way too too late

Mom why'd you do this to me, I don't wanna cave

[Chorus - Doug Crawford & Simplisity]

I'm sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared

I'm sorry that the feeling shows and I just wasn't there

I'm reminded of the fool I was

I cut you off and fucked it up again

I'm sorry that I let you go, I'm sorry that I cared
