Things I Now Know

You tried to guide my ways,
So I would have better days.
When I said what I thought,
We had argued and fought.

I didn't weigh your words,
And ignored things I heard.
But now that I'm all alone,
I miss what I had at home.

Chorus:
I miss you mom and have no one to hold,
I don't blame you 'cause you told me go.
You were strong when I had been wrong,
The things you said are things I now know.

When a mom and a child is torn apart,
You've two people with broken hearts.
I would reach out to you if only I could,
Perhaps someday we'll be as we should.

I think we should get together and talk,
Bury our problems and take us a walk.
I've learned my lessons out on my own,
I miss you mom and I miss my home.

Chorus:
I miss you mom and have no one to hold,
I don't blame you 'cause you told me go.
You'd been strong and I had been wrong,
The things you said are things I now know.

Please mom, won't you open up your heart?
I miss you mom and I don't want us apart.
