A song about our human faults, guilt, and need for acceptance and forgiveness, dedicated to my family, especially my mom.
lyrics
I try to be a good daughter and remember to call you
I get busy doing nothing and one day become two
You know I love you and you’re always on my mind
I try to be a good daughter, my mama, I try, I try
I try to be a good partner and not leave you alone
Sometimes I get it right and this house feels like a home
Other times it’s just a shrine to all the good times gone by
I try to be a good partner, my baby, I try
So forgive me when I get it wrong, tell me when I get it right
I know you think I’m strong, well baby, oh my mama, I try
I try to be a good mother and not get drunk on guilt
From every drop in every bottle of all the milk I spilt
Forty years it was just me then me turned into a we
I try to be a good mother my daughter I try
So forgive me when I get it wrong, tell me when I get it right
I know you think I’m strong well daughter, oh my sweetheart, I try
I try to be a good person, I try to be kind
If I see all the pain in the world it blows my mind
I wish I could do more for all the people hurting
I try to be a good person, oh people I try
So forgive me when I get it wrong, tell me when I get it right
I know you think I’m strong, well people
Oh my sweet girl, baby, oh mama, I try
