Lyrics Dear Mom - Marc Goone

The truth is, I′m not the best with words
Unless I write em down and rearrange em first
When you told me the news, took me a lil while
To believe it i refused, went into denial
Knew there had to be a vial, or a potion, or a doc
My emotions, they would spiral, with the notion, of you not
Being here forever, my denial, turned to shock
Cuz dad has been my idol, but you have been my rock
Now when we converse
We only talk my my music
And I try to be stronger
But I know I'd lose it

Dear mom
Took me 5 months to write this song
I would sit down, get high and light the bong
But I kept starin at a blank page, I′d get blazed
And cliches kept pouring out me ugh, so I prolonged
How do I get this thing here started?
I remember on the first day of kindergarten
That I wanted to take the bus but you were there to pick me up
I sat there and I made a fuss til you departed
Don't talk to your mother that way, said Mrs schroeder
I'm sorry for pushing u way, as I get older, I
Begin to see youve always loved me whether right or wrong
In middle school when I was wonderin if I belong
And I was bullied youre the shoulder that I cried upon
Shit at this moment you′re the reason that my lights are on
I love you mom, in each and every way
Never told you how much i appreciate u til today

Now when we converse
We only talk my music
And I try to be stronger
But I know I′d lose it
So I wrote this song here
Try to help you thru it
Dear mom, stay strong
The fight is on

Everything happens for a reason
That's what you′ve always told me mom
I always said I don't believe it
Always told you were wrong
See, I tried to preach that we were in control
That the trees we grow are built from the seeds we sow
But, what do you know, now I see your message mom
This tornado touched down changed my whole perspective on
Life, you were right, an unusual confession
From your hardheaded son, an unusual suggestion
I beg you not to see this as a funeral procession
Shit happens for a reason, life is beautiful, a blessing
And I know it dont seem right, but carry on
Cuz after every night, comes a dawn
I just want you to be happy cuz before we know it life is gone
I love you mom, the fight is on
