Lawn - For You Mom

I'm one of four
Could've worked part-time at a grocery store
Or delivered babies for a living
Or begrudged my mother for the love she wasn't giving
She could've been a movie star
Or a writer in France
Smokin' cheap cigars
Instead she's fighting for a living
Funny how live doesn't give you what your giving
So i'll pack up my things
And drive back to Cleveland
And ask all the trees if I'm in hell for a reason
So i'll wear your shoes
And pick out the clothes that you would choose
And plan a life that you're not in
Then wake up everyday and try to do it again
If it'll bring you peace of mind
If it'll buy us a little more time
I'll become a baseball fan
And follow through will all my plans
So i'll pack up my dreams
And move back to Cleveland
And pray to a sky that I don't believe in
They're asking' me things about you
I can't explain
And everything I thought I wanted
I don't want the same
Cause you're the only reason that I learned how to sing
And I never got to thank you for always listening
And i'm constantly screwing' up
Losing myself in everything I do
Cause every accomplishment's
Another thing you did
That I celebrate without you
And I hope you
Can forgive me
For waiting 'till you were gone
To do what I said I'd do
And thank you in your song
And everyday's just a day I get through
So if this is living know that I'm living for you
