Gratitude - Natalia

Don’t get me wrong, I’m grateful that my mom is still here

And I wanna reach out, but I feel like it’s never enough

People say I act like you and I look like you

Stubborn, smart and tough

You did the best you could and I understand that now

But there’s still an ache there where my mom should be

Do you think about dad?

Cause I think about him every day

It’s so hard to keep the pain inside that way

Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief

It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief

But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain

Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

So I wrote this for ya

Cause I wanted to let you know that I’m grateful for my life

It’s just so hard to be close to the fire you see

Cause we hold on a little to thight

I need room to breath, I need room to be free

Don’t think that I don’t love you, cause I do

I just need to be me, cause when we’re too close

It’s hard to know where you end and I begin

Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief

It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief

But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain

Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

So today I’m choosing gratitude

Gonna try and let the anger go

You did the best that you could do

Just like your mom and all your moms before

Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief

It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief

But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain

Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame

Sorry if I was selfish momma, I was wrapped in my own grief

It’s just that when my daddy died, I was in this disbelief

But I’ve so many regrets, so much anger and so much pain

Too many things that were left unsaid and I needed someone to blame
